Put the Ego Aside — The Gremlin Lesson
Chaos makes its point in dumb ways. Sometimes through a Gremlin barking into a phone. Sometimes through laughter echoing in a bar. But the thread running through all of it?
Put the ego aside.
You don’t need to prove yourself. You don’t need to win every stare-down. You don’t need to fight battles that aren’t worth the scars. Ego wants to be seen. Peace just is.
The Gremlin doesn’t explain himself. He doesn’t negotiate with loan sharks. He doesn’t defend his place in the room. He laughs, blocks, barks, walks away. That’s the win.
Because the moment you stop defending yourself to nonsense, you stop feeding it. The call ends. The fight never starts. The peace remains yours.
So here’s the reminder:
Don’t wrestle every shadow. Don’t break yourself to prove you’re unbreakable. Put the ego aside, and let the laughter carry you.
