Ego-Centric Self: How Our Narrow Focus Holds Us Back from True Empowerment
August 5, 2023
Feeling the ego is too strong, Ahonu has a moment on the mountain in which he explores our ego-centric self and how our narrow focus holds us back from true empowerment.
In today's thought-provoking installment, your host Ahonu delves deep into the concept of the egocentric self.
Feeling the ego is too strong, Ahonu has a moment on the mountain in which he explores our egocentric self and how our narrow focus holds us back from true empowerment.
We live in a world where events and circumstances often keep us confined to thinking small and narrowly focused on our own selves. But what if there was a way to break free from this limiting mindset?
Join him as he explores the notion that we tend to perceive everything in the world as being about us - from sales and arguments to our personal lives. He challenges the idea of constantly asking, "what's in it for me?" and instead proposes something much grander and enduring, asking is it possible there is a bigger picture beyond our own egocentric thinking?
He invites you to shift your perspective and think more globally, considering the vast expanse of time and space that stretches back billions of years. Our short-lived existence on this planet may not be as significant as we often believe, so what if there is more? Could there be multiple lives? And how might embracing this larger outlook transform our involvement in petty issues and egocentric thoughts?
