Everyone is trying to do something.

To start a company or write a book.

To be a good dad or a good employee.

To get in better shape, or help a friend.

To pick up the pieces after a divorce,

or to get picked for a new project.

Whatever it is, whatever we’re doing, ego is the enemy.

It has to be.

Because what is ego? It’s not confidence — which is properly defined as evidence of our strengths and abilities. Ego is something different, something less earned, a kind of unhealthy belief in our own importance. The idea that we have unlimited strengths and no weaknesses. It’s the voice whispering in our ear that we’re better than other people, that our needs matter more, that the rules don’t apply to someone as exceptional as we are. It’s the sense that we are special and therefore need this success or that piece of recognition to prove it (or rather, we deserve it because well, because). It’s the belief that everyone else is watching us, that we’re destined for greatness.
