Ego

You must all have perceived about the word 'Ego' in your daily life.

What Is this simple word 'EGO' means ??? and where does it leads a person!!!

In One word Ego means self-esteem. Whenever your mind is going through a situation like " I have done the work " , it implies your egocentric thought ".

What is the best process to identify the moment when ego overcome's your internal strength ? How you can stop your self to becoming an egoistic person?

Let us look for some real examples,

Have you ever noticed that whenever you buy some expensive things, it may be car, bike, house and even dresses, watches or  mobile, you become to feel proud and an internal feeling comes in your mind which forces you to show that thing to your known friends or unknown persons. This feeling is Ego.

Whenever a child shows talent, his or her parents feel proud, Its a general feeling. But when these parent tells their colleague about their child's result, its Ego.

Whenever You work hard and get success in a work after failing many times, The feeling which surround your heart is your strength. But when you tell the same thing to anyone expecting fame, its your Ego.

So, by these example it can be viewed that whenever you do any work expecting fame or popularity, the feeling which arise in your heart is Ego. If we look closely, their is no work in this world in which expectation is mandatory.

 Let me get clear about this Ego by an example, assume that, You and your opponent are playing a mobile game as rival team. There are two outcomes, you may win the level or you may loose. Now judge, If you win the level then your Ego will force you to play the next level and beat your opponent once again.

 And if you loose, your Ego will inspire you to play the next level in the expectation of beating your opponent. Actually, both of you are wasting your time by playing the silly game, Instead of doing a right kind of work which will help you to build your life, but your Ego will hold you to play the next level and the next level.

Therefore, next time whenever such kind of feeling arrives in your mind, ask yourself am i doing this to get fame, or it will increase my inner strength.
