Summary

Ego Edges Goodness Out of your life. Why? The ego has illusionary needs, which can create a waste of your time and energy. The ego also has the need to be right or to be offended. It can cause you to feel a need to be separate, inferior, or superior. Ego can cause fear, guilt, or shame. It will have you searching for recognition for your achievements, instead of simply being happy with what you have achieved. One of our biggest problems comes when we get caught living in this ego-based consciousness and accelerate into the negative emotions we are experiencing. Our ego causes fear, which is followed by fear-based reactions. Those fear- based reactions are what cause us to end up off-track. Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me!

0:12.1	This is the flavor. I guess I could have one life mission, an invention, it would be an ego
0:18.3	ectomy, but that's impossible. And the ego isn't just what a lot of people think it is, right?
0:26.0	When I was younger, I thought ego was just thinking I was better than everyone else.
0:29.6	The ego's fear. The ego creates interference between you and what you already are.
0:34.7	You are happy, you are healthy, you are wealthy, and you're worthy.
0:39.9	What are you doing to interfere with it? I'll tell you what, you're afraid of things. And so
0:43.8	I have a process of identifying fear, knowing the triggers of fear. See, here's the problem with
0:50.4	fear ego. When you're in ego-based consciousness, the blood leaves your brain and goes to your body.
0:57.2	So you can fight, flee, feed, or the other F word that my friend Gary Vee talks about.
1:08.0	And the funny thing is, as I see so many people in the ego-based consciousness with the need to
1:13.2	be right, the need to be offended, the need to be separate, inferior, as well as superior, guilty,
1:20.5	terrible ego need that people don't even realize it's their ego. You know, angry, anxious,
1:25.8	frustrated, worried. And they don't realize that in that state of mind, when they need their
1:32.3	higher power of thinking the most, all the blood is left their brain. And they wonder why they make
1:37.6	bad decisions when they have those needs of the ego. And they wonder why they're accelerating
1:42.4	in the wrong way and end up far beyond where they thought they were supposed to be. If I could
1:46.5	just aggregate the amount of time, money, emotion, and relationships that I've wasted, worrying,
