How Growth kills Ego – for life beyond the show
Listen up — Let’s get one thing straight!
You can’t chase growth and keep your ego. It’s not possible.
Not even a little.
Growth—real, gut-check growth—demands pain, discomfort, and vulnerability. It demands that you admit you don’t have it all figured out. And ego? Ego wants you to believe you’re already there.
That you’ve arrived.
That you’re above the grind now.
BULL CRAP
Look, here’s the truth, if you’re truly in a growth mindset where mentally, physically, and spiritually your are developing? – your egos punched in the mouth every single day!
Here’s how growth kills that ego:
1. Growth forces you to admit you’re not good enough, not yet.
Ego hates that. It wants applause. praise, and attention.
Growth wants results. Hard results that are measurable.
Growth doesn’t care how good you used to be. It only cares if you’re better today than you were yesterday.
2. Growth makes you ask for help.
Ego says, “You got this on your own.”
Growth says, “Find someone who knows more than you and learn.”
That’s not weakness—that’s wisdom. That’s power.
3. Growth makes you accountable.
Egos love excuses. “Its not my fault he couldn’t catch that.”
Growth only speaks in ownership.
You didn’t miss that rep because the lights were bad. You missed it because you weren’t locked in.
Own it. Fix it.
Grow from it
4. Growth doesn’t flinch when it fails.
Egos are fragile, and they break.
Growth adapts.
If failure destroys you, then ego was your master.
If failure fuels you, then growth is your mission first.
5. Growth lives in the uncomfortable.
And ego? The ego needs validation. Comfort. Recognition. Praise. Ego has a hunger for attention.
Guess what? Nobody claps during the grind. No one’s cheering at 4AM.
You either do the work or you don’t. The results and the sharpening of your skills will not go unnoticed. Skills exhibit louder than the sound of ego, it’s the constant, and how one becomes UNDENIABLE!
Final Thought:
If you really want to grow—REALLY grow, you better start getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and leaving your ego at the dugout.
Because in this game, growth and ego aren’t teammates.
One will kill the other.
Choose wisely.
No egos. No mercy. Just competition.
