Mythbusting: Egos and Sellouts

There is a lot of posturing in creative professions. We've learned to disdain what we consider to be the ego and the sellout- but what if we're getting it all wrong?

1. Far from being the big voice, the ego is actually what traps us in people pleasing, chasing career milestones and endlessly seeking validation. How can you detach from this and become more attuned to your mission than in meeting expectations?
2. You have one job- to live your mission of building a better world by using your unique gifts and talents. Focus on that- no matter what.
3. Impostor syndrome is actually your ego trying to keep you safe by playing small. Move past that by embracing what you do know. Even if you can teach one thing to one person, you are succeeding.
4. Integrity is not about making a stand for your issues. It's about bringing wholeness to a situation. That means factoring in other points of view to have a more complete picture.
5. You can't bring integrity is you don't have integrity. Maintain positive energy and focus on the mission be making sure your own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs are met, you feel grounded and have clarity.
