Lose your ego.
Don’t make an enemy of yourself. Suppress your nature, and it will inevitably rise up and rule over you. Your ego is a part of you, it has a purpose. It’s telling you something important. You are vulnerable. The world is a threatening place. Acknowledge that voice. Consider its warnings. Act on them… but act judiciously. Employ intellect, empathy, and objectivity as well as emotion. Emotion effects change in the inner world, action effects change in the outer world. Observe your ego, don’t obey it.
