This morning’s meditation.
Ego.
I am reminded how my ego needs to be released prior to any real alterations in my perception of life can happen.
My ego is fear based which translates into a need to have every person like me.
I have lived in such a way that I came across as the nicest guy yet in my mind I was racing through different scenarios to make sure every being I met was going to be impressed with me.
I ended up physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted.
I would run out of energy and take it out on those closest to me or I would just shut down and hide until I could come up with a better way to react to people to make them like me.
Eventually I went through the “I don’t care” phase and hurt myself and others with my unhealthy attitude.
Finally, I came to a willingness to change.
I learned to take responsibility and accountability for my own life.
I turned inward and discovered the beliefs that I had created which told me I needed to have others like me because I just didn’t like myself.
It has taken many experiences and difficult transitions. I am free of my ego and living in appreciation for all of creation including myself.
I thank the Creator for this sometimes difficult but amazing journey as a human. I appreciate the opportunities to experience, change and share this human existence.
May each of you find your way to freedom.
You are Loved.
