THE LEARNING HUB: Four Signs That Show Your Ego Is Too Big

1.You have difficulty taking criticism: If you are unable to accept criticism or feedback from others without becoming defensive or angry, it could be a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego allows you to accept constructive feedback and use it to grow and improve.

2.You constantly seek attention or validation: If you find yourself constantly seeking attention or validation from others, it could be a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego is self-assured and doesn't require constant external validation.

3.You belittle or talk down to others: If you feel the need to belittle or talk down to others to feel better about yourself, it's a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego allows you to recognize and appreciate the strengths of others without feeling threatened by them.

4.You have a sense of entitlement: If you feel entitled to special treatment or privileges without earning them, it's a sign that your ego is too big. A healthy ego allows you to recognize that you are no better or worse than anyone else and that everyone deserves respect and equal treatment.

It's important to note that having a healthy level of self-confidence is important, but it's essential to recognize the difference between confidence and arrogance. A big ego can negatively impact relationships, hinder personal growth, and lead to unhappiness in the long run.

In the midst of turmoil, I found my unshakeable anchor in God

In the midst of turmoil, I found my unshakeable anchor in God. He was my rock, my fortress, and my savior all at once. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I would run to Him for refuge, knowing that He would protect me from harm. His presence was my shield, deflecting the arrows of adversity, and His power was the horn of my salvation, announcing victory over my struggles. In my darkest moments, I would cry out to the Lord, who is worthy of all praise and honor. And every time, He would deliver me from the clutches of my enemies - whether they were physical, emotional, or spiritual. He was my stronghold, my place of safety, and my guiding light in the darkness. Through every trial and tribulation, I learned to trust in God's unwavering love and protection. He was my rock, my foundation, and my salvation - and I knew that with Him by my side, I could face anything that came my way. ~ ๐“™๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ป๐“ท๐“ฎ๐”‚ ๐“ธ๐“ฏ ๐“›๐“ฒ๐“ฏ๐“ฎ The Learning Hub 2024

The Learning Hub

As you reach middle age, it's time to acknowledge these fundamental realities: 1. Time doesn't equal money; leverage your expertise to achieve financial freedom. 2. Distractions are productivity poison; focus on what truly matters. 3. Seek guidance from those who have achieved your desired success, not from bystanders. 4. Your life is yours alone to own; stop waiting for external salvation. 5. Self-help books are mere blueprints; action and discipline build the foundation. 6. Sales skills can trump a degree in many industries; don't underestimate their value. 7. Opportunities won't find you; create your own and embrace calculated risk. 8. Partner with people who elevate your game, rather than competing against them. 9. Substance abuse is a dream killer; protect your potential. 10. Comfort zones are creativity coffins; venture out to grow. 11. Privacy is power; share wisely and guard your personal life. 12. Substance abuse can derail your destiny; prioritize your well-be...

THE LEARNING HUB: When you wake up in the morning...

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural. ~Marcus Aurelius Book: Meditations https://amzn.to/3qjadxq (Art: Painting by Maximilien Luce)
