driven by ego

hello

so the last few days if not weeks in my head have been about ego and how to deal with it. it was to name the phenomenon to not be overwhelmed by it. naming your fear so it cannot hide. 

one's worth is the amount of money somebody else would pay to be in this persons position. (sorry have to stress this quote :P even though it is ignoring the path of development)

the following lines try to describe an emotion, affect, or whatever that is.. but im not quiet there yet to name it. it "feels" like they are part of each other, blend in or something. talking about ego and passion

to be driven by ego/passion has something inspirational. it is the idea to grow, while blank theory is not making us go anywhere. that's the place where discipline leaves passion behind. if you are not passionate about the object, you propably shouldnt be here. i think that ego should not be ignored. ego has its merits and those who say to blind it out most likely just have a sort of ego that is not able to mess with most others. ego is build upon our success of actions and might not be accurate all of the time. there are common misconceptions such as narcissm, where ego is trying to ignore once flaws. flaws that have to be ignored because they seem to be so important to hero.

ego is benefitial for one thing. if your ego is not the biggest, you propably have more focus for the object (or you lie to yourself). if your ego is too big, it rises above the object and puts you in focus rather than your actions (and you lie to yourself). and if your interaction with the object is in focus it looks like everything is in balance. 

i think having a good relation with your ego, having reasonable confidence of your actions it key.

actually i think there might be a misuse of some words... lets put it like this, what most ppl think is ego is the force trying to defend the position you have found yourself in in a situation - your relative identity (at this moment). the "force" trying to put you in a position you can live with. dont get yourself confused with "those ignorant humans always trying to be at the top".. you respect people and some even might put you in place, in a position you are the student. and you like it. passion finds its place in this simply there, that you actually care about being positioned.

if that makse any sense. :P
