Daily Productive Sharing 1190 - Ego Tax

One helpful tip per day:)

What is the "ego tax"? Michael Karnjanaprakorn shares his perspective:

1. The "ego tax" is the price we pay for seeking external validation at the expense of our own happiness.
2. When our ambitions are driven by external recognition rather than internal fulfillment, we are paying this tax.
3. While external validation can be a powerful motivator, obsessing over it can trap us in the draining cycle of the ego tax.
4. Our actions are always a mix of seeking external approval and pursuing internal satisfaction—the key is to find a balance between the two.
5. By recognizing when we are being driven by external validation and striving to balance personal fulfillment with social recognition, we can reduce the ego tax and live a more content life.
6. True success and happiness come from within, not from others’ approval.

什么是 "ego 税"？Michael Karnjanaprakorn 给出了他的见解：

1. “自我税”是我们为了追求外界认可，而牺牲自身幸福所付出的代价。
2. 当我们的野心是由外部认可驱动，而不是内在满足驱动时，我们就在支付这笔税。
3. 虽然外界认可可以成为强大的动力，但过度关注它会让我们陷入“自我税”的消耗之中。
4. 我们的行为总是混合了对外部认可的追求和对内在满足的渴望，关键在于找到这两者之间的平衡。
5. 通过意识到自己何时被外界认可所驱动，并努力在个人满足与社会认同之间找到平衡，我们可以减少“自我税”，活得更加幸福。
6. 真正的成功和快乐来自内心，而不是他人的认可。
