When we’re ego driven, we try to differentiate ourselves in hopes of feeling worthy. Spinning narratives about our lives to gain admiration slows our evolution. Instead of listening, we’re talking. Instead of finding our inner truth, we’re busy crafting an image. Because we confuse our behavior with our true self, we defend rather than open to the external feedback. Reminding ourselves that our possessions, accomplishments and status aren’t who we really are, helps us go deeper and see that when we’re unattached to our identities, we’re free to adapt and grow. This is how to truly gain…
Admiration.
