Let’s talk about pride and ego here. Pride serves the ego and I didn’t realize this till something happened recently. Ego is the enemy and that’s something that most people just don’t realize. They’re are cursed because they’ve got an extremely big ego or they’ve got way too much pride. It doesn’t matter what you’ve got. What matters is that you get rid of it. It’ll be painful if you can’t learn to progress in life. Once again ego is the enemy and 99% of the people do have a giant ego. They hear the truth from someone else and they feel offended because deep down inside they realize that it’s true. So they hate the other person instead of learning a valuable lesson.
Pride and the eye-opening event
I’m working at a meat processing factory at the moment. It’s just a temporary job but they offered me a contract for a higher position in the factory. I was honored by this proposition because I take a lot of pride in my work ethic and that’s where I went wrong. It boosted my ego and that wasn’t a good thing. I declined the contract but another guy came to me and asked what it was all about. I said what happened and he was extremely angry because they didn’t offer it to him. He started working there before I arrived so I got why he wasn’t happy. Another guy came to me and asked me the same question but I didn’t reply to it this time. I knew that I was going to make some enemies at this pace.
I learned this lesson rather quickly but most people never do. Here are some pitfalls where pride and ego will kill your progress.
Pride, ego, and jobs
Some people feel better than others and it’s all has to do with pride. Most people are proud that they’ve earned a degree and they instantly don’t want to do a whole selection of jobs because they’ve got that degree. Your pride is killing you here. I mean do you realize what you’re saying? You’re saying that you’re better than another human being because you’ve got a piece of paper and they don’t. This mindset is sickening in my opinion. Your degree doesn’t matter. What matters is your mindset. Yes, I’ve done shit jobs but I did them anyway even when I was still in college. There wasn’t a single moment where I felt better than the other people.
They’re just human like me. I was bored a lot that’s for sure but I’ll never place myself above another person. That’s vain and pretentious. You should be ashamed that you’re thinking like this. A job is a job and all human beings are equal.
Pride, ego and self- help books
It’s no secret that I read a lot. I encourage people to read more since it’ll change your whole perception. Most people don’t want to do it or they feel too good for the so-called self- help books. You see people who go to college or university can process a lot of facts. They memorize a lot of stuff and they use it to pass tests but there a flaw here. You’ll never understand a self- help book if you’re approaching it in this way. You need to read between the lines and that’s something that most people just can’t do. They don’t get the books so they’ll focus on the looks.
Pride, ego and the fact that you’re single
We’re living in a pussy generation. Most guys should become rappers and call themself lill bitch. They want to score as many girls as possible because that’s what an alpha does in their opinion. They eventually learn that women like successful men so they’ll aim at a more successful life. So they work a lot to buy an extremely fancy car, which they can’t afford, just to impress girls. It’s so sad because they’re convinced that they don’t have to chase women anymore since they’ll chase them. Those guys are still chasing women but they just don’t realize it. But it doesn’t have to be a car. Some guys just work out to impress girls. Which is stupid, but it happens anyway.
They are convinced that they don’t have to do effort on dates since they’re “successful”. Well, that’s how they see themselves off course. Can you guess how this ends? These guys remain single and end up frustrated. Sure you can score an empty-headed gold digger but do you want to? Pick the right wife for the sake of your life. But you’ll never find her if you run on pride or ego.
My own dating life
I haven’t got a date from mid- July 2016. I just focused on living a life with purpose. But I just used my analytical mind to learn from others’ mistakes. A lot of people laugh at me when they hear that I didn’t date for that long. Some even asked me what’s wrong with me but I just don’t want to live like them. What’s the point in having all those frustrating dates? You can brag about it to others but this doesn’t impress me. Those people are bored and I want to make every second of the day count.
There’s a key difference between boys and men and it’s shown here. Boys chase girls while men respect them. There are a lot of boys these days I can tell you that. They all try to impress people with their fake confidence and it’s extremely pathetic. I guess that this is why pick- up artists are so popular. They enforce this behavior while in reality, they’re pussies.
It was a great year since I focused on what I wanted. I don’t regret it for a single minute.
Pride, ego and breakups
Breakups aren’t fun but they’re part of life. Tons of people go from one relationship to another because they can’t be alone. This is just a modern-day disease but most people don’t get it. So they get out of a new relationship and constantly blame the other person. Your ego just got crushed but you’re not going to lose your pride and dignity. You can’t believe that somebody just dumped you. So you make up some weird excuses on why you’re single again. These excuses will get you nowhere since you’ll end up in a fake reality. I’ve seen guys convince themselves that they were too alpha for a girl while they were not. The girl wanted an alpha male but she ended up with a guy without a backbone. She wanted mister Alpha instead of mister Grey.
These guys mostly fuck around and don’t get why they can’t keep a girlfriend. I get it and I devoted a whole blog post about it. These guys eventually settle for less and live unhappily ever after. This is sad but true. Their perception doesn’t define their reality but they act as it does. You can’t play an act forever so you’d better change your life.
So I can’t have pride or ego?
Yes, you can but you have to make sure that it doesn’t make sure that you don’t see your flaws anymore. I’m still proud of my work ethic but I learned a lesson as well. That’s the key behind this whole matter. Most people have an ego and become the know it alls. They lose their ability to learn and that’s why they’ll never be successful in anything. These people constantly come up with excuses for everything that they do. They fuck up and blame other people for it. Just admit that you made a mistake and learn a lesson.
It’s not that bad but it takes a lot of courage to do it. Most people can’t do it so that’s why you should set an example. You have to remain a student for the rest of your life. You stop living as soon as you assume that you can’t learn anymore.
Be a lone wolf that doesn’t follow the herd. You’ve got to show people that there are other ways to live life. You’re going to die anyway and I guess that you don’t want to die full of excuses?!
