Mr or Ms Ego, Can Direct You Down The Wrong Path

Yesterday I started some thoughts on the ego. In the simplest terms this is a person's self-esteem or self-importance. For example I recently played five games of basketball aggravating my sciatica.
Why did I do it? I wanted to be seen by others as the older guy who can still play basketball. What value does it have to anyone? None. This is my exact point, people can find themselves doing things
that have no value at all. Why? They want to been seen in a certain way by others. Make sure you control you your own ego. Also insure your actions have some tangible value toward something.
That's my post for today. Share with you tomorrow.
