A little piece of wisdom: Ego
Ego. 🦚 We all have one, but when does embracing your dreams cross the line into being simply an ego boost?
Sitting with the question can uncover the answers you seek
Pursuing your dreams is a deeply personal and individual journey and embracing your dreams doesn't always mean boosting your ego.
Dreams often stem from the things we want or who we want to be and are backed by purpose and potential, whereas ego, which, whilst it can be similar to the thing we want or what to be, stems from the need for validation, comparison, or the approval from others.
The key difference between the two lies in your motivation.
💭 When you embrace your dreams, you focus on growth, creativity, and the impact you can have on yourself and those around you.
🦚 When ego is in the driving seat, it becomes about proving your worth. It's about being the peacock and basking in the applause for the sake of being liked.
So, if you're putting off pursuing your dreams because you fear your ego is driving you, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your vision/goal/dream. Is it for you, or is it for your ego?
The answer will give you all the information and insight you need to take the next step.
