And, let’s be honest, we’ve all been there in one shape or another.
Here’s an Urban Dictionary definition for “elder ego:” “When an older person refuses to take advice or listen to a younger individual. And fails because of it.”
If we’re fortunate (and wise enough), the ego is something we shed with age or learn to rise above. While we never quite get rid of it, in time, it lessens its grip. Hopefully, it’s something we can eventually laugh at and with. It certainly makes life more enjoyable!
To paraphrase those classic TV commercials for “Leggo my Eggo” waffles, it’s time to Leggo of our Ego!
