That's a symptom of the world view that says we're all separate. It can't be maintained under the view that we're all part of the same whole. Is the heart superior to the lungs?
Ultimately your world view is a choice.

2) Greed: Thinking I deserve a larger portion of the pie, when in reality, no one "deserves" to earn such large amounts of money.

The pie is infinite because human creativity is constantly expanding it. If your aim is to withdraw one "slice" for every two you contribute, then be the greediest person you can be, and we'll all benefit from it.
You deserve whatever you give.

3) Overconfidence: Taking inappropriate risks because I think that I can handle anything.
|
Time and experience resolve this problem soon enough. Underconfidence is the greater risk for most people. Testing the limits of your confidence isn't such a bad thing, especially when the worst-case outcome is just embarrassment.

4) Depression: Feeling a lack of purpose because I'd accomplished everything that I possibly wanted.

Set a bigger purpose, one that's worthy of the real you, one that would take a lifetime to put a dent into. Mine is to inject the spirit of lifelong conscious growth into every family on earth. Please let me know when I'm done.
