Ego good/bad is a false dichotomy. The proper framing is can a situation be improved? Is the status quo good enough?
Even if one takes spirituality out of the equation practicing mindfulness for secular purposes has as its goal taming of the ego-self. Less self-relatedness and taking things personally.
I'm of the "situation can be improved" camp and have never been accused of lacking personality. LOL!
