Ego-A mental poison that not only makes the person’s relationship hollow, but gradually swallows his identity, career and self-esteem. It often grows quietly and inside, and by the time the person realizes it, a lot has been removed from the hand. While there is a competition for success, competition and self-demonstration in modern lifestyle, the ego is also born very easily. But it is not abandoned in time, so it pushes man into the trough of loneliness, failure and regrets.
Ego makes away from loved ones
The first and biggest impact of ego is on our family and social relationships. When a person starts keeping his thoughts, achievements or position at the top, he starts to despise others. Gradually this thinking makes him away from its loved ones. Parents, siblings, spouse or friend-people who are closest to him, they either ignore them or try to dominate them. In such a situation, the tension and distance in the relationship instead of warmth in the relationship takes place. This thinking also prevents him from taking cooperation. People slowly start quitting his association because no one wants to spend time with a person who considers himself paramount in everything. As a result, he starts feeling lonely, but by then it is too late.
Career also causes damage
While confidence is the key to success, the ego can become its biggest enemy. Many times people do not understand the difference between confidence and ego. When a person begins to consider his success as the result of his talent instead of considering the result of others’ hard work or teamwork, the ego begins. He stops taking advice, considers criticism as negativity and does not pay attention to anyone’s point. This makes his image of a ‘fierce’ or ‘dictatorial’ leader. The result is that promotions stop, allies start cutting and career comes to a standstill. In many cases, the job may also be in danger.
How to renounce ego?
Self -sacrifice – Ask yourself every day whether someone has been hurt by your behavior? Do you listen to everyone or just say your own?
Meditation and Yoga – Meditation and yoga are very important to maintain mental balance. They keep us calm from within and help to control the ego.
Accept the response – do not take criticism individually. Consider the response an opportunity to improve.
Share success – Accept the contribution of others in your achievements and give them credit.
Be grateful – express gratitude for what you have found in life. This expression paves the way to convert the ego into humility.
