In the last few months I have been putting more of myself out there and of course there will be more eyes on what I’m doing or saying and for sure the judgements and criticism would be obvious, but there is also this huge window of opportunity. I’m stepping out more, so that I can unravel my own ego mind and find more love for myself from the depth of my soul.
I really don’t need to focus on those who don’t see me, validate me or show me love. The best part of putting yourself out there, is the opportunity to show yourself that you matter and how you feel matters more, then what someone’s opinion of you is.
Our egos run high and place us in fear, not to prevent life from occurring but to protect us from our pain, but there is no life in that. As a spiritual teacher I run into people’s ego and fears all the time and sometimes it can be extremely exhausting. I do my best to try and show them their potential, but when the ego kicks in , they run away and go back to the lies that they have created. We love our comfort zones and self-sabotage!
The biggest challenge of the ego is commitment. Do you commit to life, to your happiness, to your ability to love yourself or are you comparing yourself and blaming your bad luck or circumstances on others?
The truth, I have been a punching bag by others’ egos for far to long. The biggest lesson I have learned while being a spiritual teacher is to honour my being above all , speak my truth and continue on my path. Whether you follow me or not is not my responsibility. Never violate your boundaries to accommodate anyone. Never hold back from allowing truth to be spoken, never limit anyone else’s potential and above all be real. This isn’t above image or being nice all the time but being real to yourself.
Nobody can take anything from you when you are living in your truth and eventually the ego will come to terms with your ability to love yourself . The heart never lies, it speaks from the soul.
yes – lovely post Christina, its important to connect with one’s inner truth in this world and on a daily basis, then speak to it with calmness and clarity. Too often ego will try and distract one from living a life that is centered within one’s spirit, I find morning mediation and being mindful certainly helps a lot. Every day in every way is a good day to be all that one can be in this life. Look for the love, kindness and compassion within – it is always there.
Its not always about meditating to find your inner peace. Meditating is an amazing way to connect with your inner self and getting to know who you are. It is amazing at reducing your stress and helping maintain your health, but if you’re not really into trying it out that’s ok, here are some great …
Change is good In the last three years I have felt like a gypsy, moving spaces and places and trying to find some type of footing in order to do my work. As I’m transitioning back into my own space I realized I’m allowed the freedom to do and go as I please, isn’t that …
With the new year approaching we are all feeling overwhelmed and are in the space of feeling as though maybe things won’t happen or change. It seem like loss is everywhere and we keep manifesting loss or the feeling of loss. It feels like our hearts are heavy and we have had enough. We are …
What does a natural born leader look like? Do they follow the rules or do they create new ones? For years I felt like I was standing alone fighting against all odds and watching people and feeling their resistance to the rules, yet nobody stood up. I remember this one experience in college, they had …
