How Strong is Your Ego? - Winner's Circle Network - 7/17/12

Winner's Circle Network - 7/17/12 - "How Strong is Your Ego?"No one wants to think of themselves as having a "big ego," but having a strong ego is definitely a good thing. Now, what do we mean by that? How strong is your ego? Many people think that the term "ego" has something to do with being a braggart or totally self-interested, but that definition is incorrect. Actually, psychologists tell us that the ego is that part of our personality that directs our activities, so we can get our needs met and survive. It's a normal

and necessary part of who we are. Having good ego strength means you perceive things accurately and have the ability to make wise decisions. It also generally means that you have self-confidence, self-esteem, and poise under pressure. Ego strength has nothing whatever to do with people we think of as having "big egos"- those macho folks who like to push other people around and blow their own horns. On the contrary, ego strength often shows up as resiliency - the ability to bounce back from adversity - and the flexibility to take advantage of change. According to Dr. Garfield, author of "Peak Performers," to gain ego strength, a thoughtful, systematic program of personal growth can help enormously. Lou Tice taught individuals and organizations this method for over 40 years, and The Pacific Institute is continuing with that legacy. So, we know that if you choose to, you can build your own ego strength to meeting the challenges of a

changing world.
