It's not all about you - Ep. 36

Inevitably, we are the hero of our own movie. The movie of our life is played in our mind as life happens and there is only ever one perspective; one narrative: ours. The entire movie is about us, it is filmed, and edited by us. We live our entire life from the perspective of ‘I’.

As we go through life and continue creating this movie, we develop a sense for who we are: our ego. It is made of an amalgamation of beliefs and thoughts that we gather along the path of our life. 

Noticing our ego can be tricky, because it is a collection of beliefs.

The easiest way to become familiar with it is to notice the emotional trail that it leaves behind. When you feel overly attached to being right, when you are desperately justifying your behaviour to yourself, when you are reacting disproportionately to someone else’s behaviour, it may be a sign of your ego in action.

In other words, when you make it all about you!

Tune in to find out how to move beyond your ego to live a happier life.
