La place de mon ego

Parfois, il faut savoir reconnaître ses limites... Pour le post du jour, j’ai opté pour cette vidéo de Jay Shetty qui vous parlera bien mieux de l’ego que je ne l’aurais fait : 10 ways to spot ego and how to replace it with self-esteem thoughts.

Ce podcast dure une trentaine de minutes, il faut donc prendre un peu de temps pour l’écouter. En tout cas, j’aime les conseils qu’il donne et je le recommande vivement. Découvrez-le en cliquant ici.

Je vous révèle quelques points que j'ai retenus de ce podcast :

• Ego drawns curiosity, self-esteem grows curiosity

• Ego wants to prove itself to everyone, self-esteem wants to express itself

• Ego compares yourself to others, self-esteem compares you to yourself

• Ego pretends to be strong, self-esteem is ok to be vulnerable

• Ego is scared about what will people say, self esteem goes and gets mentorship from the experts

• Ego demands respect and self-esteem commands respect

• Ego is self-centered and self-esteem is service-centered

• Ego competes on best and worst, self-esteem acknowledges that people have different experiences at different times, situations

En conclusion :

We don’t want to water the weed of our ego and avoid the seed of our self-esteem. When we water the seed of our self-esteem, it grows into a beautiful flower, it grows into a beautiful shade...

Give up a lower habit for a higher habit.

Je terminerais ce post par cette citation de Maya Angelou que Jay mentionne dans ce podcast. Cette citation m'a marquée lorsque je l'ai découverte il y a quelques mois. Depuis, je me suis intéressée à son auteur, mais ça c'est un autre sujet...

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
