Well, if there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that life will offer you one ego taming experience after another.
If you're able to open up to it, it'll help rid you of your illusions, make you more humble, and make you easier on yourself and more compassionate to others.
You know, Kali is supposed to be the Goddess of destroying illusions. Her hellish appearance is only an illusion... but it's interesting. The feelings you get from having your ego blasted are about as ugly as her visage. But if you can deal with it, then she becomes a great mother.
