Kill Your Ego. Be the Fool.
“If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.” — Epictetus
Most men let their ego stop them from growing. They’re terrified of looking dumb, being judged, or stumbling as a beginner. So they stay stuck.
But here’s the truth: every man who’s ever mastered anything started as a fool. Awkward. Incompetent. Struggling. That’s the price of progress.
If you can push through that phase with consistency and effort, something happens:
Foolish becomes competent.
Competent becomes confident.
And confidence, over time, becomes mastery.
The only thing standing in the way? Your ego. Kill it. Be the fool. That’s where growth begins.
Question for you:
Where in your life are you avoiding growth because you’re afraid of looking foolish?
