Let Go Your Ego

Let Go Your Ego

How many times have you become angry just because people didn't treat you the way you think you deserve? How many times have you started a fight just to satisfy your ego?

If you are experiencing any of above situations there is a good chance you have an ego problem. It’s self sabotage! That’s because your ego is in charge and it likes to do this by helping you adopt behavior patterns you can both hide behind.

The greater your ego, the lower will be the effectiveness of your own Human Rhythm. Let us me share one story which I read few years ago, on how does our ego ruins us.

There was once a learned scientist after a lot of practice and efforts developed a formula and learned the art of reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original. 

Thus was successful in his formula. One day while doing his research realized that the Angel of Death was searching for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him.

Now when this Angel of death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to heaven.

But, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of them, "Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw."

The scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, "Impossible! Where is the flaw?" "Right here" said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off.

The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life.

Morale of the Story

While your knowledge and skills takes you to the top of the ladder and make you successful, but the three letter word "EGO" will pull you down immediately…so let go your EGO.
