A healthy ego means that you can take credit for your efforts and honour your progress without playing down the achievements of others.
The unhealthy ego, however, cannot share the spotlight – it needs attention, it craves validation and admiration to the point of obsession. The unhealthy ego creates a circuit in your mind that persuades you that you will suffer if you do not get the appraisal of others. This is, of course, an illusion, but the Ego knows how to win the game of keeping you a prisoner in your own mind.
Being humble is learning to shine your light while appreciating the spark of others! ✨
