Episode Summary
In this episode, I discuss the topic of ego. Building on some thoughts from a previous episode I did on ego, I dive more into what ego is, how it influences our decisions, and the importance of balancing confidence with humility, especially during times of success. Whether you're a farmer reflecting on the season's yields or anyone facing life's ups and downs, this episode shares my insights on how to stay grounded through both achievement and challenges.
In this week's episode I share some of my thoughts on ego in farming and business:
- Learning from Harvest Success: As the season winds down, I reflect on how ego can make us feel solely responsible for our achievements, while it's often a mix of hard work, timing, and a bit of luck.
- The "High Horse" Effect: "The higher the horse, the harder the fall." Success can make us feel invincible, but staying grounded is essential to avoid harsh reality checks.
- Listening to the Whisper of Humility: Ego tends to scream, while humility—or the "whisper" of wisdom—takes patience and awareness to hear.
- The Dichotomy of Confidence and Humility: Inspired by "The Dichotomy of Leadership," I discuss finding a balance between ego-driven motivation and humility. This balance, termed "humble confidence," is key to navigating life's challenges.
