Read this Carefully,
It doesn’t cost to be nice to people; Loyal relationship value people.
People are very important in your life
* Your birth came through others
* Your name was given to you by others
* You were educated by other people
* People give you respect; you don’t go about saying you respect yourself.
* Your first bath was done by others and your last birth will be done by others
SO WHY THIS ARROGANCE?
WHY THIS EGO?
Somebody bathed you when you were born, someone will bathe you when you die.
WHY THIS ARROGANCE?
WHY THIS PRIDE?
WHY THIS ATTITUDE?
As if you you control the Entire World.
Hear me carefully; Others will carry you to the grave side and others will bury you.
* Everything you have owned in this life will be received and enjoyed by others.
You will not take them away so
EVERY THING IS ABOUT OTHERS
HUMBLE YOURSELF
What is the ego?
There are many different definitions of the ego, all of which can get quite complex. My personal take on the ego is that it’s the part of us that feels the need to be special. It’s that part of us that seeks approval – and by very definition it is a part of us that feels lacking in some way. This is why I know that the ego is not my friend.
The easiest way to determine if your ego is at play is to ask one of these two questions:
- Do I feel superior to others?
- Do I feel inferior to others?
If you answered yes to either of the above questions then it’s likely your ego is in the driving seat. This is because the ego is somewhat of a contradiction.
The ego is not just about arrogance
Many people hold a belief that if you have a big ego then this means you are arrogant and over-confident. There is this idea that your level of ego is relative to how much you love yourself. While this can often be the case – as I mentioned earlier if you are feeling superior to others then this is definitely your ego at play, but the ego also makes us feel inferior at times.
The ego and inferiority
Have you ever felt like you’re just not good enough? Have you ever looked at someone else and thought – I wish I was as good as they are? If you have (and let’s face it most people have done this) then this is also an example of being caught in the clutches of your ego.
Being right and the ego
Another sure fire way to tell if you’re being led by your ego is to notice if you’re desperate to be right. When you’re caught in an argument what are you fighting for? Are you genuinely making a point or are you arguing to prove that you’re right? Someone very wise once said to me:
“You can be happy…..or you can be right.”
This is a great question to ask yourself next time you’re caught in the throws of an argument. Or are you willing to sacrifice your own personal happiness just so that you can make your ego happy by being right?.
