It's a bit of a controversial opinion and I might ruffle a few feathers with those who think they need to get 'rid' of their ego, but our ego isn't a bad thing necessarily and you can't get rid of it. 

It just doesn't work that way. Instead, learn to embrace your ego and use the huffing and puffing it sends out to further your own personal development and awareness.
