Ego is a funny thing.

It's not always what we think it is.

Sometimes it comes in the form of bragging about ourselves, other times it comes in the form of the need to BE right, instead of getting it right.

In my case right now, it comes in the form of what someone thinks my intentions are.

I know we usually want to act tough and say, "I don't care what people think".

But that's a lie.

Human nature has us care what people think.

But I do believe there is a volume of our ego that we can control.
