I make mistakes everyday. I'm old, and I do stupid shit. Once you realize that you're not a God, everything else is possible. 

 Yeap, taking accountability about my mistakes is something I am learning with time indeed.. 🫂 

 Ego gets in the way. Mine always has. Even when I know it shouldn't. 🫤 

 💯.. do believe ego is like a self protecting mechanisms. Like a chain that keeps you in your comfort zone 

 Cognitive dissonance. Self defense mechanism in our brain.
