Sometimes we allow our egos to get in the way of our progress. We want to impress our family and friends about what we have done. Our friends and family are supporters not our ego boosters.
We don’t have to be motivated to make it in life by impressing anyone. Instead, we can ask ourselves how can we be better people, and what can we learn about ourselves in a certain situation?
Because life is a place where we encounter new and difficulty things, it can teach us about ourselves. And that is more important than boasting about something to our friends.
