The EGO:

Without our ego, we may not be where we are today

Dissolving everyone of ego would stop boundaries from being pushed

We won’t recognize the glass ceilings above our heads since the ego is the architect and builder in the first place

The ego gives you direction

Ego cuts through the overwhelming brush and offers you a glimpse of light amongst the chaos

It helps you wade through the uncertainty of existential angst emanating from the human condition

The ego is very tricky, though

Without a firm grasp, it will lead 'you' down a slipperier, and darker path than you ever could've conjured up yourself having been given an infinite amount of time to do so

The ego wants more, always

Until you become aware of your ego, 'you' WILL be controlled by it and all of its desires

Hopefully, yours doesn't cause too much friction in your day today, but it can, in some cases

For those 'some cases,' they're perceived as the outliers in society

Sometimes those outliers are labeled "egomaniacs”

Most of them are the ones that grab a majority of the attention, good or bad

And some may use their ego for good

But they’re still a slave to their ego

Sometimes the ego is viewed as a bad thing, but sometimes it can be a perspective lens used on the path to good

It is the skill of a master to wield and utilize the ego consciously at will, but ego is without a doubt connected to success in the external, form-filled world

If you can’t imagine yourself doing, being, achieving more than you are now

You’ll never take the necessary risks to evolve from what you presently are to what you imagine you could be

That takes discernment and analysis

The actively present ego is the process of believing in a greater version of yourself- like when small Mario turns into Super Mario after eating a

To judge who you were yesterday and compare it to who you want to be tomorrow calls for a blend of ego and consciousness

An unhealthy ego could lead you down a path seeking the wrong attention and validation

To free yourself from your ego, you need first to be aware it even exists

The thought of ridding yourself of the ego is the ego itself- don’t get too excited when you feel like you “won”

You can’t get rid of your ego

You can only become more aware of it as time passes

You can better your relationship with it

You can use it as a tool to plan out your future and imagine who you could be

Be your most stringent critic, but also the most understanding

Get in touch with your ego to use it to your advantage

The quieter you get on the inside, the more control you’ll have over the noise on the outside
