Today, we're going to be talking about how to stop procrastinating and finally take action.

I'm going to be talking to you about traps that your ego creates, that you probably don't

even realize that it's doing that keeps you self-sabotaging.

And I want to start with the bold truth. Your ego is the thing that is holding you back the most.

And we're going to talk about what the ego is if you don't know exactly what that is.

But your ego, it's not your job to help. It's not its job to help you grow.

Its job more than anything else is to prove itself right, to keep you the same.

And that means that it has to keep you in the exact same place.

It doesn't want you to get better.

It doesn't want you to get wiser.

It doesn't want you to get richer.

It just wants you to be safe.

The ego wants to keep you in the exact same place because the exact same place that you're in

right now unconsciously means safe. Even if it's miserable, it knows that you're alive, and if

you're alive, that means that you're safe. And so the ego will pull out all of the stops to trick you so that you don't take action.
