Episode 3329:

Keith Wilson uses the metaphor of a bus to illustrate how our emotions can take control of our lives if we let them. By strengthening our ego, the driver of the bus, we can ensure that our values, not impulsive feelings, guide our actions. This balance allows us to navigate life with integrity and purpose, ensuring we honor all our values without letting any single emotion dominate

Quotes to ponder:

"That’s what it’s like when every new feeling you get takes over and drives you where it wants to go."

"Strength is one thing, but the ego needs a reason to use its strength."

"A strong ego works out by getting you up in the morning when you want to mope. Strong egos get stuff done."
