How did the speaker overcome their ego in the past year?
This past year, I defeated my ego. That was the one thing that was holding me back my entire life. And this past year, I finally told it to screw off. Get lost, buddy. And it changed everything. Right now, I'm in Orlando, Florida. I just had a great New Year's with my girlfriend that I love. I'm enjoying myself. I have freedom for the first time ever. And I just want to tell you that your 2026 can be the best year of your life. I'm not going to try to give you some kind of technique to make you more productive because I don't actually believe in any of that and honestly I think that you already know all the advice I could give you the one thing that I do want you to think about going into this new year is how is your ego trying to trick you
This is something that I've witnessed not only in myself, but in the people around me. Ego creates self-limiting beliefs. I'm too good for that. I could never tap dance. That's not me. Yeah, you think it's cringe or whatever, that people are going to look at you weird, but you're afraid to do it. That's really where it's coming from. Ego is built on this idea of fear, and it's something that is kind of building this castle wall around us, like the old Krakow Wawel. If you ever go to Krakow, beautiful castle in the middle of the whole city. I mean, in my opinion, the best city in the world. You will have these walls up your entire life that will limit you from trying new things, from meeting new people, just because you think your life needs to be a certain way when in reality you should let it go.
I let my life go this year. I did not create some kind of insane vision. I had a vision board in my room that I looked at every day. But honestly, I didn't care so much what it looked like. I just cared that I did the work. that I controlled what I could. I told myself I wanted to be consistent and I wanted to actually create videos for the first time in my life consistently and that was the focus. It didn't matter that I didn't know how to make something perfectly. What mattered is that I learned and that I put in some kind of work. And I really urge you to think about your own life the same way.
What role does ego play in limiting personal growth?
It's insane how many people will hold mistakes against them. And I'm one of those. I will do that all the time. I will think of all of the ways that I fumbled and the mistakes that I made. But in reality, what I have learned from a year of doing something consistently is that the mistakes don't matter as much when you do it over and over and over and over again. Because when you do increase your volume of whatever it is, making friends, going on dates, being a good person to yourself, you will learn. And that's something that I think has been overlooked. We want results so much. We're a results world now that nobody cares about the art of learning. And that is what makes life so great, in my opinion.
But your ego will convince you otherwise. Your ego will convince you that you are a loser, that you are lonely, that you have no friends, that you have no talent. You don't have anything to save yourself with. But in reality, that's just your internal dialogue. The world can really be your canvas if you just change what kind of paintbrush you're using. It can really be a wonderful place if you stop feeding into negativity so much because that's the way you were brought up. You were in a very negative household. Your family are cynics. Okay, but that does not have to be you. Your ego is making you think that you need to stay the same because it wants to be comfortable. And when it has something that completely dispels its own beliefs, it starts to panic.
We want control. In life, that's a huge thing. You want safety, you want control, you want stability. That's why people go to college to get a nice degree, to get a good job. But in today's world, what I really urge you to think about is the fact that nothing is stable. Nothing is. Think of how many people have lost their jobs, I should censor that, because of AI. Think of how many people have had to change their lifestyle because of changes, of climate change, a bunch of different things.
