For more than twenty-five years, Coach John's life has evolved around helping people, young and old, in finding their ways through life. He designed modules and trained speakers. He travelled extensively giving talks, seminars, retreats and personal life coaching. This blog speaks his mind, a product of his love for life.

The Ego

I always tell my audience: 'everyday, go in front of the mirror, take a deep breath, and tell that person in front of you: "I love you..." They asked "why?" I answered, "because nobody will." The usual outright response I got from this is laughter. They thought it was one of my antics again. I told them it's not.


It's not narcissism either. Narcissism is rooted  in the lack of self-love. The narcissistic person is not actually convinced that he/she is lovable. That's why he/she is obsessed in directing all the attentions towards him/her to fill that vacuum within. Narcissistic people have insatiable appetite for attention.

A well loved person is sufficient, and therefore does not need to beg for attention. As the famous song goes..."learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all..."
