How to destroy ego, complacency and back-patting?

[999michaelh]

Hey guys,

Ever since I was a kid I've had a massive ego. I had to hit rock-bottom to realize what it was doing to me(last year).

So basically, I very much LOGICALLY UNDERSTAND why ego is bad.

But it always finds a way to sneak back in. Every so often, I look at my progress; I've accomplished way more than before, and I get self-satisfied. I look at how I used to have a shitty lifestyle and now my lifestyle > 95% of people(probably).

And then my subconscious decides to make me work less hard and thus my ego spreads its mean little tentacles into my mind again without my being aware.

In 'ego is the enemy' Ryan Holiday said 'awareness of your ego' is the first step. Screw that man I want to BURY my ego for good. Should I go to India to become a monk or something for a year or two? Goddamn
