Then you feel really bad because our greatest need is for love and acceptance.

And our greatest fear is rejection.

It's the subconscious mind feels if I screw something up that I shouldn't screw up, I'm going to get rejected.

And so fear becomes a big issue for things that we feel like we shouldn't screw up on.

And that's where the ego comes into play.

The better you get at mastering the ego, the more fearless you are because you're not afraid of screwing up.

And that's what the greatest are able to do.

They're able to master their ego enough so that they're not filled with fear every time they have something that they really want to do but don't know if they can do it.

Well, self-centeredness leads to fear.

And what you really want most is to understand what your heart deeply wants is so important to feel fully alive and fullness of life comes from relationships.
