Ego And Hard Headedness

Ego And Hard Headedness 

Me and my girlfriend have a therapy session every morning on my way to work. We talk about everything. How we screwed up when we were young, to how even at this age we still need therapy. Yesterday we were talking about our daughters and how we see things that they can't or won't see. 

But we started laughing because we, too, were hard-headed when we were young. You couldn't tell us anything. 

When you're younger you think you know everything. 

Your ego takes over and is so much bigger than you, you can't admit you're wrong.

I remember when my mother tried to tell me about my high school sweetheart. She said if I married him I would be barefoot and pregnant, living with his mother while he went from job to job or was out there every day hunting and fishing. I screamed “You don't know anything! I love him and I am going to be with him!!”

Well, guess what? It happened, not to me but to another girl just like my mother said. When I met my ex-husband within a month of moving my life 1500 miles to be with him I saw all the red flags. I knew this was not for me, but….my ego wouldn't allow me to take my ass back to New York. 

No, what would everyone say? I said this was it, I sold my business and rented my house out, I even gave my dog away. What was I supposed to do? Move back with my parents? Start all over? No, my ego overruled my brain and made me stay, and look how that turned out, just like the red flags showed me but no one could tell me anything.

Sometimes we are to close to the situation. We can't or won't see what's really going on. Maybe the clock is ticking and you want children. Maybe this is your ticket out of the life you have now. Maybe you think this is all you can get, maybe you're so in love that you are blinded. Whatever the reason is your ego will not allow you to admit what is wrong with this person. Clearly, everyone else sees it but you. More likely, you see it or feel it too, you just won't admit it. And so you stay, and you waste years of your life trying to prove everyone wrong or trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. 

So today my friends remember that you will not die if your ego is bruised. It's okay to be wrong, it's okay to admit they were right. Trust me no one has died from embarrassment, you will be okay. Your ego will be okay. I'm telling you that you don't need to go and get your pain in order to be right. Don't let your hard head or your ego ruin your life.
