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 You Feel Empty Inside

If you think you are not enough, you are wrong. If you think you are not whole, you are wrong. If you think you don’t have what it takes to create a better life for yourself, you are wrong. If you think life is not fair, you are right. If you think you are making progress, you are right.

Because life is about making progress. Life is not about making things perfect. It is about making progress. It is about appreciating what we have. It is about working hard to get what is important to us. It is NOT about waiting for miracles to happen. It is about creating our miracles. It is about respecting our lives, no matter what is going on around us.

If you don’t feel right, check your thoughts. Because what you are thinking about is what is affecting you, not your situation.

If you change your thoughts about your situation, your situation will change. And you can manage it.

Whether you are feeling right or not, do not let your feelings make you forget who you are, why you are here, and where you are going.

When things are difficult, it is easier to give up than it is to keep fighting for what we want. If you want to get what you want, no one is going to give it to you; you have got to fight for it.

If not you, who do you think is going to fight your battle for you? No one is going to do it. The world is too busy to even recognize your situation.

If you don’t feel right, that is okay. You are not going to feel great every day. Some days are going to be better. Whatever you have got, take it. And you can make things better for yourself when you focus on what is really working for you.

Don’t focus on darkness. Don’t focus on negativity. Do not focus on what is missing. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Your time is coming. If you don’t give up, if you can stick to your goal, if you can tell yourself that ‘you are whole’, nothing is going to stop you from living your life the way you want to live it.

The question is, ‘What are you doing to create a positive life for yourself?’
