Learning about ego is an interesting journey.
We don’t recognize it in ourselves if we aren’t arrogant or pompous and so we assume we are free from it
But we aren’t. It’s a continuous journey.
Ego shows up as separation from each other.
Anytime we think we aren’t as good as someone else, it’s our ego talking.
Whenever we think someone else has done something wrong and we are upset by it… that’s our ego.
When we are shy, nervous, expecting perfection, not speaking up or speaking our truth, when we are criticizing (ourself or others), or in blame… it’s all because of our ego.
Ego isn’t bad, it just is. The more we can move away from it and be humble and kind, the easier life is. That’s when we are being our best selves.
Just for today, let’s be observant about all of the ways ego shows up for us. If you make a judgement about your ego, that’s ego too.
Try not to judge, just observe. And let’s see what we learn about ourselves.
