Don’t Fall in the Inflated Ego Trap

Luke Kemeny

I’ll admit whether I like it or not my ego is sometimes in control without me being aware of it. Everyday is full of challenges, and these hurdles can either be food to feed your ego (I am right- they’re wrong), or opportunity to grow (maybe they’re right?). I’d choose the latter, but we don’t always have a choice because the moment an issue arises we’re taking in new information so quickly there’s not enough time to stop and think. Is my ego in control?
