Your ego is a selfish entity, only concerned about its survival. Interestingly, it’s somewhat similar to your brain in the way it operates. It has its survival mechanism and will do whatever it can to persist. As with your brain, its primary concern is neither your happiness nor your peace of mind. On the contrary, your ego is restless. It wants you to be a go-getter. It wants you to do, acquire and achieve great things so you can become a ‘somebody.’
