Summary
“When you become your own best friend, you’ll find yourself becoming a better friend to everyone in your life.” – Brian Buffini
An Ego by definition is “a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.” When we have an unhealthy ego, full of pride or low self-esteem, we become our own worst enemy — undermining our good efforts and damaging our relationships. In this episode, Brian explains how to cultivate a healthy ego so that you can stop self-sabotaging and become your own best friend and most valuable asset.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- How to have a loving sense of self.
- Why resiliency is so important.
- How to solve problems with a fresh perspective.
- Why the capacity to develop relationships is key.
- Why a sense of meaning and purpose is vital in life.
