Anything outside of authentic effort is ego. Ego is a temporary state of being, if someone requires consistent authentication from an outside source. Effort requires an outcome, and the minds of many rest in fickleness. Inward effort after achieved, can lead to even greater goals. These goals when achieved provide a lighted path on which to walk upon and progress in one's personal life.
