When Your Ego Is In Charge

You are where you are because your ego wants you to be there. You hate where you are. You don’t want to be there, but your ego says, ‘It is the best place for you.’

The question is, ‘Is where you are the best place for you? Is it making you happy? Are you getting what you want? Are you growing? Are you adding value to your life? Are you adding value to other people? Are you expanding your social connections?

Are you in charge of your life? If things are not going well, you can make things better. If you are struggling to find your voice, you can find your voice. If you are not where you are supposed to be, just know that you are making progress.

Do not forget that great things take time. If you want to achieve great things, you have got to be patient with yourself.

Your ego is there to protect you. But if you don’t act, if you don’t question what you are doing, if you are not doing what you think you should be doing, your ego is going to run wide. You will never know what is going on in your world. Why is that? Because your ego wants you to live in the same place. Your ego wants you to be safe, to play a safe game. Your ego wants you to believe that you are the smartest in the world, that no one is smarter than you, that you know everything, that you don’t need to ask for help.

Don’t let your ego be the boss. If you want to win in your life, you must be the boss, your own boss. How do you do that? You start by taking your life into your hands.

If you are not comfortable with something, do not tolerate it. Question it. If you are scared of doing something, ask yourself why you are feeling the way you are feeling. Don’t settle for small things.

Whatever it is that you want to achieve in your life, you can make it happen. The question is, ‘Who is in charge of your life? Ego? Or you?

Why Some Of Us Are Not Free

Talking is not freedom. Walking around is not freedom. Driving the best car is not freedom. Wearing the best clothes is not freedom.

Freedom comes from love. It comes from self-love. If you don’t love who you are, nothing else matters.

When you love who you are, your own freedom is possible. When you are in love with yourself, you can do all things. Because you just feel great about yourself.

You are free when you do not see obstacles as things that are trying to stop you from achieving your dreams.

When you are free, the world is free. When you are not free, the world is not free.’

You are free when you don’t focus on what is not working for you, when you are comfortable with yourself, when you are not afraid to stand for something.

You are free when you are NOT looking for anyone to give you permission to live your life.

You are free when you don’t bring other people down in order to win in life.

You are free when you think about other people, when you put other people first, when you ‘eat last.’

You are free when you are comfortable hanging around people who are different from you.

You are free when you are doing what you love, what makes you come alive. That is what you love. What we love is what makes us come alive. If you are not doing what you love, you are not alive. You are on your way. You are getting there.

You are free when you know that things, great things, take time to get done, that freedom makes things possible.

Think about it. Can you get real things done when you are not free? It is not possible. If you want to live a great life, you must set yourself free. When you are free, you are free to fly, to create, and to live.

The question is, ‘Are you living your life? Are you free to create? Are you free to enjoy your world? If not, what are you doing to make a difference in your life?

When you are free, the world is free. When you are not free, the world is not free.
