bruised ego need help

my ego is badly bruised how long is the healing process?

Ego an climbing can be a fatal mix. Rather than heal your ego I would try to let it go instead.

Call the waaaaambulance because your ego isn't your only problem...

Well ....I do rock ...and im a warrior...and Arno when he says how he has all that internal conversation going is pretty cool ...so yes that should help too. Thank you dude ...

serious answer-
one's ego should die. ego is nothing but a picture of yourself that has been propped up by other people and lies. a good quote - "Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego." ~Eckhart Tolle

the best solution is to fail more and fall a lot. surrender to the failing, and it along with your ego will become inconsequential.

non-serious answer-
that 5.10 is rough. it's sandbagged in fact. you'll get it next time first go.

Dude I have no ego...dude u don't know how humble I am. I was just mocking the other guy's post about his poor bruised heel that's that! For me its actually hard to take a compliment so I have the generic : 'oh thank you that's really nothing' dialed in. On a serious note: you bring a good point though.

One Art

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster,

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three beloved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

-- Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) a disaster.

Very nice! Oh boy what a wisdom! In climbing its the resilience what counts. Beautiful. When you stand on the top of the mountain you know ( many here experienced that so no need to explain further) indeed a beautiful poem! Thank you!
