Well, they're all really hard.

I think it depends on the person.

So I define humility as an accurate view of self, not overinflated or underinflated.

And if you're truly humble, then you can never be humiliated or truly embarrassed because embarrassment and humiliation is a concern for self.

My status just went down.

Now I feel bad about myself because I think other people feel less of me.

And, but if you're completely selfless, there's no self to defend.

There's nothing to be afraid of because you're not defending anything.

You're not protecting anything.

And that's, you can look at when the best performances in the history of the world happen.

There's no concern for self.

There's no thoughts of self whatsoever.

And so the ego is that part of the mind that's constantly threatening, threatened.

And when it's threatened, it's got to work overtime.

It's got to, Oh, what about this?

What about that?

And that's where anxiety comes in.

Anxiety is a mind with too many thoughts and too many concerns.

Yeah, thanks for sharing that.

So yesterday I was walking into a grocery store as I drove from New York City here to central Pennsylvania to work on this next book.
