That’s what your Ego wants you to do.

What are you working on? It’s something important, isn’t it? Something that means a lot to you. You had the idea. You’ve owned it from Day 1. You’re the one who’s put in the hard yards and burned the midnight oil.

You’re the one who’s had to swallow the bitter pill whenever things didn’t go your way. You’re the one who’s had to not throw in the towel when odds weren’t stacked in your favour.

All those things happened, yes, but “you” weren’t the only one there. There was you and “you”. “You” being your ego. Your ego is the one who feels like you deserve respect, admiration, recognition and payment for what you do.

What you do has meaning and purpose beyond these temptations. Ego tells you that these are the most important things. Ego wants you to suffer in silence.

You can defeat Ego if you get it out of your head. Talk about your feelings. Be honest with someone. Get it out in the open. It can’t stand the searing heat of Truth.

That will help you get it back on track.
