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?

Are You Stuck?

No, you are not stuck. If you think you are stuck, you can always unstuck yourself.

The Lord has a lot of things in store for you. Because of that, please do not stuck yourself. There are so many things that you can do to change your life. You can get away from a toxic environment. You can say ‘goodbye’ to a toxic friend. You can quit a toxic job. You can take responsibility for your life. You can stretch yourself. Above all, you can take care of your thought.

If something is not making you better, if something is not adding anything to your life, guess what, it is taking a lot away from your life.

If you are in a place where you are always disrespeted, you don’t have to stay there. You don’t have to tolerate it. If you are not comfortable anymore, you can leave.

‘If you want to connect with your inner happiness, you must unstuck yourself.’

Do not forget that you are the master of your life. And you must treat yourself as such. Do not wait for anyone to tell you to leave a smoky room. Do not wait for anyone to tell you to leave an abusive relationship. Yes, it is okay to listen to other people. But you know what is good for you. You know when it is time to say ‘enough is enough.’

If you want to live a peaceful life, you must not stuck yourself in a rut. If you want to connect with your inner happiness, you must set yourself free. You must unstuck yourself. Because, according to the Greek philosopher Epictectus, ... the door is always open.Yes, it is.
