Unchecked EGO

Unchecked EGO

Who's our #1 ENEMY who remains incognito most of the time?  It is our Unchecked EGO.  EGO in itself is NOT bad and it is even a necessary and important part of evolution.   EGO is a survival mechanism that keeps you safe whenever you're vulnerable and weak as a child.  It becomes harmful [instead of being BAD] only when you hold on to it later in life.  EGO is like the hard shell protecting the vulnerable seed inside while the external conditions are NOT quite ready for the flower to bloom.  If you DON'T have the protective shell, the seed will most certainly die.  If you, however, DON'T shed the shell when the conditions are right, the seed also dies without ever blooming.  It is thus critical that you shed the shell when the time is right💴💷💵

Personally, I see EGO as that wrapping paper covering the unique expression of joy.  EGO hides the special gift inside.  To uncover that gift you first need to remove that wrapping paper.  WHEN you DON'T access this joy, little by little the fuel that gets you up in the morning starts fading away.  Until depression sets in📙📘📗

BIG challenge is HOW can we spot the EGO in the room?  EGO comes in many forms and sometimes it can be hard to discern between EGO and internal knowing OR purpose.  EGO is always selfish and greedy as it comes from an EGO-centric perspective.  Then the mentality turns from 'WE' to 'I'.  Internal knowing, on the other hand, is aligned with your higher good and thus always has a positive impact.  That becomes the "WE" rather than 'I' perspective💎💎💎

The thing is, our minds do trick us.  Like I myself, I judge everything based on how they behave, talk, and think.  I can see everything because I thought that I knew everything.  UNTIL I realized that I was WRONG.  Another realization is that many of us [that includes moi in the past] believe that we knew everything.  We thought that the more we think from our own perspective, the more we realize that everything that happens will be according to what we thought❎❎❎

Many of us [that includes moi in the past] tend to keep judging HOW people behave and HOW they treat us.  We judge them for being either fake OR genuine.  One mistake and then 1,000 judgments come into our own minds about another person.  Should we be CAUTIOUS?  Yes we can BUT we got to enjoy life too.  Our takeaway, let us try to ENJOY LIFE rather than trying to know everything.  Let's get off that UNCHECKED EGO ASAP❗❗❗
