The Subtle Ego!

Are you happy? Are you fulfilled? If not, there’s a connection with ego.
Are you frustrated? Frustration is a sign that your ego is putting more importance on you, and wanting everyone else to comply. Instead value diversity – value the differences in others and see their strengths.
Ego takes you away from the present moment. While you’re completing an important assignment your thoughts take you to the past and future. Realize this is happening; catch yourself, and refocus on the task at hand.
Observe your thoughts periodically, and ask yourself - “What am I thinking about?” You’ll be surprised that every thought has some ego connection. Evaluate your thoughts – how many are ego-driven? Replace the ego-driven thoughts with actions that make a difference to one and all.
Reflect on whether you have a superiority complex or an inferiority complex as both arise from ego.
Avoid self-sabotage. Reflect on the purpose of your life and look at possibilities rather than limitations!
