Next time someone criticizes or blames you, instead of defending your ego, do nothing.?Let their remarks simply wash over you.?Allow the false self-image your ego has created to remain diminished.?Become aware of the uncomfortable feeling this is creating.?You have begun the process of separating yourself from your ego.
The truth is you have not been diminished.?You are beginning to realize by becoming “less” you have actually become more.?By becoming vulnerable you are discovering your invulnerability.?The false image your ego has created of who you think you are is being gradually replaced by who you really are, an inspirational, emotionally intelligent leader.
Arguing with the present moment only strengthens our ego.??We become victims of our egos.?Our unwillingness to let go of our resentments only serves to strengthen our ego based fears.??It is our ego that is harboring those grievances.??It always wants us to either feel “less than” or “superior to” others but never equal.?We need to stop defending our ego.
