Ego plays such a big role in everyone’s life. It drives why we do what we do, how we do what we do.
Ego is super strong, dominant, also vulnerable and sneaky. It grabs us every moment in life. It dances with us. It watches us. It lives in us. It depends on us to survive.
– We dress us daily – may be according to our ego.
– We present us daily – may be according to our ego.
– We buy stuff daily – may be according to our ego…
Ego drives us crazy. It gives us reasons or goals in life, momentary pleasures and beautiful illusions. It also covers who we really are and what we want. It creates havoc for our lives.
When we are strong, brave, and present, we can beat our ego. We can live a more fulfilled life, a truly satisfactory life.
When we have empathy, sympathy, openness and show our vulnerability, we live in present. Then, we can get rid of our ego snd live in a more free world.
The way to catch our ego is to be focused on who we are and live in present. Only then ego becomes so weak. We will be more free, strong and creative.
Keep your ego in check. Live a better life.
