How do you differentiate between selfish ego and real energising feeling?

That's a great question. The ego has all kinds of tricks. I would ask where the energizing feeling is coming from. Does it come from external validation (performance) or inner alignment?

Good stuff. I think I’ve brushed against some of these ideas but seeing them written here brings them together and makes them make sense.

I recently decided my first niche was writing a memoir. That seemed almost lazy for the niche picking, but facilitates exploration and alignment. :)

Hi Terry, great to hear the article gave you more clarity. I'm pretty sure writing a memoir brings even more clarity. Let me know how it is going.
