I have always been wary of an ego-centric approach. But I see the point you are making here. Belief is everything.

Question - what are the threats to an ego-centric approach? And why did you drift away from it?

The biggest threat is over-compensating for that belief and not remembering that you're also supposed to act in service to others. The ego gets too large, in that case. As always, and with everything, a balance must be achieved. I just didn't personally have a strong enough ego to let me properly thrive in the world.

This response is fricking beautiful and you should recycle that into content and share that message. Beautiful.

My highlight "the biggest threat is...not remembering that you're also supposed to act in service to others"
