Earlier today I posted a quote and it said you can start from the bottom, fail a million times and still make it to the top. And I think sometimes that when we are in it and we are struggling to reach our goals right, we may not feel fully that it's possible and sometimes we honestly have a lot of ego involved. And I find this a lot of times with cells, and I am raising my hand because I've been there and I have been in moments where I was afraid to share an offer or was afraid to like offer, like a VIP day or something, because it would be very evident if I didn't do it, because obviously, if I did it, well, what would I do? Take a photo I would share, right. So if I never take a photo, then it didn't happen. And it was funny because I had to really let go of that, because when we are trying to achieve something for ego, we're going to burn ourselves out.

Trying to achieve something because of passion or because of desire to help, desire to support, desire to help someone have a better life totally different than this is coming from ego and I just want it. I wanted to help my bank account, I wanted to do this. I wanted to do that and I think sometimes we get to check ourselves and it's like what is my intention with this Goal? Is this a goal I really, really wanna achieve, or do I wanna achieve it because my ego is stepping in and wants to be recognized and wants everybody to see that I did this? So I want you to ask yourself if there is a goal that you've been trying to achieve and you have not achieved it, where did this goal come from? Did it come from true and pure passion and a servant's heart and wanting to support someone, or did it come from a place of ego? Only you can honestly answer that question.

But I think it's a great reminder for us, because I've again I can acknowledge that I've came at things with ego before and they never worked. They felt harder, I worked towards it and I felt burnout. But when you have passion on your side, when you have desire and servant's heart and support, that isn't exhausting, that doesn't feel like burnout, that feels like this is my life and I am so blessed that I get to live the life that I have this way, that I get to do the things that I get to do when, again, as if I'm doing this out of ego, purely for money. I'm gonna burn myself out. I'm not gonna fill the joy in it. I'm doing it to check a box, to get whatever the ego dopamine hit is, and so it's a great reminder to check ourselves, passion or ego. One is really really exhausting and the other is really really fulfilling.
