INSIGHT

Ego Masquerades As Heart

  • The ego convinces you you're coming from the heart even when you're defending yourself.
  • That self-righteous defense often looks like normal communication but protects pride, not truth.
INSIGHT

Winning Replaces Resolving

  • Doubling down to prove you're right turns conversations into fights rather than resolutions.
  • When arguments aim to win, they prioritize ego protection over connection.
ADVICE

  • Watch the other person's reaction when you 'speak your truth' to test your motive.
  • If they defend, pause and shift; if they soften, you were likely speaking from the heart.
