1 Insight From Me
Book: Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
Every time I’ve let ego take the lead, it’s rushed the process, burned the bridge, or chased validation that didn’t even matter the next morning.
Ego’s loud when I’m uncertain. It wants to prove something instead of learn something. But over time, I’ve learned that real progress doesn’t flex. It just shows up consistently—quiet, focused, dialed in. The times I’ve grown the most were when I shut up, listened harder, and stayed curious. Not when I was trying to impress, defend, or dominate the room. Ego talks. Purpose builds. And these days, I’m trying to build.

“Ego is the enemy of what you want and of what you have: Of mastering a craft. Of real creative insight. Of working well with others. Of building loyalty and support. Of longevity.” — Ryan Holiday
1 Question For You
Where in your life are you letting ego drive the car? What happens if you hand the wheel to purpose instead?
