A Thin Line — Ego and Self-Image

Wednesday’s Prompt: What quality of your self-image might you benefit from evaluating?

I wrote a piece last week entitled Conversation With “Her” and ever since I wrote that piece, the Universe has been deliberately showing me how much my ego is still in control. Typically, I don’t share my writing with most of my friends or family because I am in fear of having them critique it. That lack of confidence to share my work is clearly coming from a place of a very fragile ego.

This week I shared one piece that I wrote with a few of my friends and family. The good news is, they had nice things to say. However, I was asked to share more of my writing, and I could not find any other pieces that I thought was good enough to share with them.

I am in a battle trying to prevent my fragile ego from getting in the way of a having a positive and healthy self-image. The lines are certainly thin and blurred, and sometimes, I find myself overthinking so that I can protect my fragile ego. I would like to function in a space where I have a positive self-image that thrives and in turn, my fragile ego is fully suppressed. Then, I think I would be more open to sharing my work with more of my friends and family.

My question is, for those who might know the answer, do I need to get to a place where my ego no longer exists? And if so, how do I kill this fragile beast? Or is my ego part of my flawed self that I should embrace but work hard towards keeping it in check?

The good news is, I am able to better identify when my ego raises its ugly head, which puts me in a better space of dealing with it in those moments. If that is the antidote for handling my ego, then I will continue on that path.
