Want to Supercharge Your Creativity? Get the Ego Out of the Way

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

The ego is a slick, conniving, and dangerous liar.

Like all hustlers.

Ego always tells you to compare, prove, please, perfect, outperform, and compete.

  • Ego doesn’t own stories or wants to write new endings. It denies emotion and hates curiosity.
  • Ego says to avoid truth and vulnerability. It says feelings are for losers and weaklings.
  • Ego likes blaming, finding fault, making excuses, inflicting payback, and lashing out.

Believe me.

Ego sucks the joy right out of life.

Don’t let it.

Are you not sick and tired of hustling for yourself worth?

I am.
