The 3 ways to silence your ego: EGO IS THE ENEMY by Ryan Holiday

Animated core message from Ryan Holiday's book 'Ego is the Enemy'.

[tomharvey]

Be willing to admit a mistake and say you’re sorry. Do it often and quickly and it’s humbling to do so

[kevgh]

Ego is only and simply: the need to be thought of as special by others. It is born out of fear. If you were the last person on the planet you would have no ego. Ask yourself why do you want to be special? It is simply the fear of not being loved.

[JohannaFarrimond]

When you fear the experience of hurting your ego, it grows; but when you accept pain and move towards it, it shrinks.

[garyinmarz]

As long as you are aware of ego, ego can't take over. Awareness is a constant practice, constant!.

[Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

The one who masters his own mind, masters the world. -Stoic Philosophy

One of the greatest quotes in this video is : Reflecting on someone or something bigger than yourself is necessary to quiet the ego and to avoid getting caught up in your personal story of greatness

Throughout my life, I’ve always been known as the “smart kid” and with this title, comes the belief that I always have to be the smartest and always have to be the best, thats where my ego stems from, and ill try to eliminate it.

Ego is truly the worst enemy. It keeps us from making friends and from bonding with families and relatives

The death of your ego is the awakening of your third eye. When the third eye is awakened you will see things from a different perspective a more wise and understanding one, your sixth sense will start to develop and you will obtain powers. For example if a person comes into my thoughts whom I haven't see for a long while 100% every time this happens within maybe an hour or two boom that person will appear. You will start to sense danger or trouble every time. You can get a sense of a person even just by being near them. There is a good gauge to see how peoples egos are in check just by listening to them for a while, if they say me or I'm or are talking about themselves a lot then probably best to avoid these people. Also egotistical and narcissistic behaviors can run parallel with each other and probably best to avoid people with these disorders. There are many stage's for enlightenment and losing the ego is the first step to being a better you. If you have taken the time to reading this humble opinion then you too are searching for a better you and a much calming happier better life.

Ego is what stops you from admiring the details of the work.
The ability to think that your own way is the only way is what will stifle you from progress.
Always walk with an open mind despite how much experience you gain and you shall forever be keening your competitive edge.

[ericwilliams]

Ego is the frenemy that motivates each of us to do more. More than your lazy friends, thinking beyond the herd. However, feeding the ego is where things go wrong. The Ego needs to be managed like a child and be told when to stop talking. I was reminded about my own ego in the beginning of this video, however, i have realized that when things are getting warm in my endeavors, I need to improve on how I react to this as I've spent years at attempting results. The point is I"m aware of my ego based reactions. That's better than not. Just be aware, think back at how you react to things and learn to improve.

Ego is your false self and yet we build lives around it, usually ending in heartbreak and disaster.

[dylon]

I would also like the mention the other side of ego. For instance when you fail, your ego can make it all your fault and cause you to believe that you’re more likely to fail in the future. When you succeed, your ego can deflect it and not give you the credit you deserve. It sounds like humility, but it’s really just a small ego. Your ego can be too big or too small, but either way it’s still bad.

[gillaybhutia]

It is the ego in us that created fear and made human do unwholesome activities. The more we move away from our ego the more bold and genuine we become.

[jeanalexandre]

To keep ego out of the way stay humble and hungry

[tuanhpham]

Three things to combat ego: equal, plus, minus
1. Equal: peer study to push you study harder
2. Plus : Mentor to push you higher, pave y the way
3. Minus: Get a mentee and you will have responsible for them when you fail.

[dronesandnature]

Nice summary. Ego can keep us small, from not doing the thing that really fires up our soul. Fear of failure. Fear of being seen. Fear of becoming so real that the ego is silenced. Our ego doesn't like the soul winning.

[TheWickedNation]

My ego is getting the best of me in all aspects of life right now, i need more humility man

[hanaanrosenthal]

Ego isn't the enemy, in fact, it is a part of why you are alive. Your problem is believing that the ego is you (it is not.) Newsflash: The part of you that thinks that the ego is the enemy is also a part of that same ego, as the Ego is the only part of you that can make up 'enemies'. When you meditate, your ego eventually finds it's place as a useful tool rather than an out of control tyrant.
The ego does not need to be silenced, it needs to be heard and not obeyed.

[startinglifeat]

Ego is not the enemy as our ego is always trying to protect us. It's jus that in our adulthood, its protection mechanisms are not necessarily the healthiest or best options for us. But it's not our enemy...learning to see through our egos and retraining our minds will yield far more results than thinking that our ego is the enemy.
