On my Ego
filed in Dance, Ramblings on Feb.07, 2009
There is no easy way to talk about ones ego, even my own(Ive spent 3 days trying to start the post). Even with the fear of sounding egoistic or big-headed, I feel I have to address this issue before it gets out of hand. How do you classify someone with a big ego? How does one attain such an ego and how does one avoid it? I constantly ask myself these questions day in, day out to keep my ego in check.
Does a big ego mean you rave non-stop about myself and place yourself above all others? Does it mean you put everyone into their own class in terms of skill and only dance with the people at the same level or better? Personally, I think having a ego means I dont even try to enjoy a dance with anyone I ask or who asks me.
After dancing for about a year, I started getting compliments about my dancing, mainly about how fast I have improved over the past couple of months. This feeling of satisfaction is great but unfortunately, it gets to my head. Is this the root of an ego?
Sometimes, I feel like I am on the journey to being “big-headed”, so please feel free to bonk me on my head to knock me back into shape if I get to that stage(also an indication that youve been reading my blog)
ps: not too hard ok?
