Love over Ego

There are many smart people in this world who aren't successful. Will Hunting (from the movie 'Good Will Hunting') is one example. He is the prototypical genius who doesn't have emotional intelligence. It wasn't his fault, as he came from a very tough childhood background. In the movie, he has a girlfriend who challenges him, although not in the way of typical IQ, but of the matter of emotion.

It is key to recognize who you are in this World and how you fit in. What is your family background? What is your support network like? Who are your friends? I always needed to be right in every argument. That's the big ego coming out. But what if your friends love you, but they know you do have a massive ego? How do they reach you? They could just say it, "You have a big EGO". But maybe more effective is the experience of tripping, the experience of vulnerability. You will scream, shout, and yell at the top of your lungs. Your ego is hurting. But emotionally, you are learning and you are healing.

I pray that you will go through this experience. Of the humbling of your ego. I pray that you will not get physically hurt or physically hurt others. But you must let go, sometime.

How to be you while still being socially acceptable?

 I feel that you have to prioritize yourself first. Then you should prioritize "social acceptability" second. There must be some space in between the you and the world. Space where you can both be yourself and socially acceptable. A space to make mistakes. A space to experiment and try things out. It is a balancing act that usually doesn't work out the first time. -----CHATGPT version---- Being true to yourself while also being socially acceptable can be a balancing act, but it is possible to do both. Here are a few tips that may help: Understand and respect social norms: Learn about the customs and expectations of the society you live in, and try to comply with them in your interactions with others. Communicate effectively: Be clear and direct in your communication and try to understand others' perspectives. This can help avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Be open-minded: Be willing to hear others' opinions and perspectives, even if they differ from your own.

The New Year Cometh (2023)

It is bursting with opportunity, hope for change, and a fresh mindset. Let's see where life takes us. Several career goals, several relationship-oriented goals, and of course settings good, healthy routines. I am so excited to see where things go. I am looking for trends. As one of my friends, James Kelly CEO of FaithTech, once said, "where there is devastation, there is opportunity". 2022 was not good economically and I'd say generally for the Tech industry where things like VR and Social Media products didn't pan out well. 2023 WILL BE DIFFERENT. From this trough of disappointment, there is new energy, new fire in the belly to succeed.

Is working on yourself is a lifetime project?

 It's not something you can truly ever be done. You want to make a difference in the world, you need to work on yourself as a MAIN THING.  That doesn't mean that you can't do both at the same time.  Think small. Slow down. Even your dreams should be doable. -----CHATGPT version---- Working on oneself is a continuous process that can last a lifetime. It involves developing self-awareness, understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, and taking action to improve oneself. It can include personal development in areas such as emotional intelligence, physical fitness, career advancement, and relationships. It is an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth.
