Inner Excellence is already messing with me. I’m only on Chapter 2, “Where the Wild Things Are: Pride and Fear and the Center of the Universe,” and I’m learning my fear comes from self-centeredness — which nobody wants to hear that. 

 

My fear of rejection in SALES for instance comes from ego. Murphy (the author), writes:

After bragging about crushing my morning yesterday, this morning’s routine was rough. Not a great morning in the Long house. First, I slept in until after 6.
