Ego Prevents Progress
Too often we let our ego and pride get in the way of making progress to our goals.
Too often we let our ego and pride get in the way of making progress to our goals.
Pride is a funny thing.
It can be a powerful force in your life, making you confident of the work you've done and who you are.
But at the same time, it can be a punk.
It can be the reason we don't ask for help - why risk looking like anything less than smart / strong / confident?
It can be the reason we never start anything new - why chance someone thinking we're bad at something?
I spent a lot of my early 20s allowing my pride to prevent me from pursuits. I cared about looking like everything was altogether. I cared about coming off polished and successful.Â
My pride ran my choices because I cared more about how I looked than about how I could get better.
Sadly it means I missed out on opportunities to build skills, relationships, and experiences that would have benefitted me more later.
A Competitor isn't afraid to ask for help because they care more about getting better than they do about looking amateurish.
AÂ Competitor isn't afraid to put themselves out there and try something new - they know the only way to get better at a skill is to start doing it. No one "just arrives" ready to go.
This week, my challenge to you is not let your pride prevent you from starting something new.
Don't let your pride derail your progress.
