The Inspiration to write this article cam from this video From Joey
I struggle with this Ego a lot. I have messed up a lot of opportunities and also some potentially great relationships because of it.
Below are some of the Affirmations I repeat to myself to keep my Ego in Check
- I am not perfect. Nobody is.
- I am not a flawless person. Nobody is.
- I do not know everything. There are other people more talented, knowledgeable, and wiser than me.
- Everything I say, do or believe may not always be correct. In fact a lot of times they are not.
- I have been wrong before and I will be wrong in the future.
- I have made mistakes in the past and I will make mistakes in the future. But that is okay. Without it no growth is possible. No learning is possible.
- What do you do with a mistake? You recognize it, admit it, learn from it and forget it.
- I am humble. I strive to be humble.
- I value other people. I respect other people.
- I value other people’s feelings, emotions and needs.
- I like to listen to other people when they talk. I do not interrupt them.
I am trying my best to keep this Ego in check. And this post in one of my way to do so.
Thanks a lot for reading.
Bye 🙂
