Ego and Spirit

I am reminded how we humans have an interesting combination.

We are Divine Spirit and we are ego.

When out of balance I can be quite uncomfortable in my own skin.

When I lived only through my egoic mind I was closed off, fearful, angry, and playing as if everything was fine.

When in full Spirit I am aloof, absent-minded, closed off to the material world and I sit alone even in a crowd.

I have found I need to maintain a balance between the ego and the Spirit.

My practice is to begin each day with statements of appreciation, setting my intentions, and meditation. This brings me into alignment with what I choose to call God.

I then am ready to enter each experience with acceptance, appreciation, compassion, kindness, understanding, humor, peace, and Love.

And when I flow back into my ego, I am grateful for the reminder to stop, breathe, reset, and begin again.

Intentionally living each moment in alignment with the Spirit of God.

May each of you find your balance.

You are Loved.
