Hi guys, welcome back to It's Metanks. Happy Friday. We are in the thick of December.

It's December is Decembering. How about you guys?

Hi, it's been a minute. I mean, not really, but it feels like it's been a minute because I've been away.

I went to artbozzle my first one.

Now, we know that the most annoying, irritating thing in the world is hearing influences complain.

And I'm not gonna lie to you guys.

Buzzle was not my favorite. I went with a brand and I was very lucky to go and I love, I love to sport.

I love their whole team and that part was fun.

But the party scene or night scape, whatever triggered a lot of ego in me and I just want to tell you guys about it because I feel like I need to, it might be helpful for you guys to to hear me talk through things.

You know, I'm always telling you, check your ego, check your, you know, is it your ego? Is it your this through that? So here's an instance where I was feeling upset and this is why it's helpful to know about things like ego.

I was like, why am I triggered by this week? Why am I stressed and annoyed and snapping at everyone and feeling anxious?

And I was actually having dinner with a friend on the last night and he was like, you know, this week triggers a lot of ego on me. He's in the, he's public facing to.

And he was like, it's so comparative, right? It's just like who got invited to this party, who got invited to that party? And I was like, huh, I guess that's true. And unchecked ego is, it's insane.

Unchecked ego can run ragged on your psyche on your mental health.

It can just make you feel all types of ways. I saw this tweet. I don't know who it's from. I saw it reposted on Instagram. I don't want to take any credit for it, but I just had it saved because I wanted to read to you guys.

It said, you can master getting rich, getting healthy, getting attractive women or men, getting great friends.

If you don't master the ego part, aka need for attention and envy, you're doomed. Step one in this healing process. Be happy when a friend wins, even if he she is surpassing you.

And I wanted to save that. Read it to you guys not only because I knew I was going to talk about Miami, but also because on AMA.

Someone asked like, I'm insanely jealous of all my friends getting married and having babies and we talked about that on AMA, but I just thought that that was so great. And it's like at the end of the day, the battle is not to get rich.

The battle is not to have the hottest boyfriend or whatever. The battle is within us. And I do know that it's just we all forget sometimes we all forget.

It's like, it's very, it can sound very woo, woo, higher power spiritual blah, blah, whatever. But at the end of the day, the only battles are kind of within our mind. And like whether we're able to master them.

And I know for me, it's kind of like, am I able to not only control my ego, but also control my need to control because that is like out of control.
