Ego vs. Ego

Put your pride in your pocket? Hell no! Unless it would resolve in something nasty, you have no reason to hide any of your pride. Are you egotistical? No? You should be. I don't know what you were told growing up, I was taught about the evil of ego and why you shouldn't have one. I guess it's why most people turn out like sheep following the herd. Were you taught that you are special and different from others? If you believe that, why shouldn't your ego reflect that?

In my opinion, not having an ego is a BAD thing! The first things I would want anyone to have is an ego! A positive outlook on yourself and the impact you have on life around you. It will affect everything else you do in a positive way. Whenever you are questioned about yourself, you shouldn't hesitate before replying with a positive answer! If you were asked whether if you are ready to take on a task, whom would like to say "No, I don't think I am ready" or "Um, I don't know..." - does this type on uncertainty attract you? Whom would rather say "I was born ready baby!" or "Bring it on bitch!" with a fat smile and shining confidence? "Not me... I would rather be a looser thanks" is what some people might say in reply to my question, not in those exact words I guess; whatever they do come up with as an excuse, is pretty much the same.

The evil and the good; the big, the HUGE fact people overlook when explaining Ego: There are two sides to the story! Good vs. Bad ego.

Bad ego is where you point out yourself as being better than others. This type of ego is most common in people and also the main reason why people despise it. Unless you can handle having enemies, avoid this ego - you don't need it. Gaining a feeling of importance from breaking down others is a false sense of greatness, leading towards deeper unhappiness and need for more condescension of others. It's a bad loop to be in.

Good ego is where you point out yourself as a great person, which you are! If you are ever questioned about yourself, you should always answer in instant and sincere positivity. There is no reason for anyone to be ashamed of whom they are. You are wasting your life if you do. Being positive in your response to everyone & everything around you will instantly make you feel and be great, it will give others a good opinion of you - some might even earn some respect for you. How you let yourself feel around others is how others will feel about you. The people who care, don't matter; The people who matter, don't care.

Have an ego about yourself, you deserve to have one just as much as everyone else. Carry your pride on your shoulders, regardless of what has happened in the past. Life doesn't wait for you to catchup... it keeps going. Don't get left behind.
