Here’s why most people are disabled,
without even knowing it.
If you lose an arm, or a leg, or the sight, you can’t ignore the difference it makes in your life.
You lose some ability, and you know it.
It’s hard to deny that you can’t see anymore.
But most people suffer from a totally different kind of disability.
Their ego.
People’s ego is a hidden handicap, which prevents oneself from even being aware of it.
“I don’t have an ego problem”, is what you say… when you have an ego problem.
Ego is one of the sneakiest disabilities.
Because when you suffer the most from it,
is when you are the least aware of it.
When your ego controls your life, it’s like having a constantly empty stomach, which gets emptier as you fill it.
Ego is craving.
For attention, for affection, for love, for being right, for dopamine, for validation, for recognition, for excitation… for highs in general.
And the more you get, the emptier you feel.
Ego is like the universe and human stupidity, it is infinite.
But unlike the universe and human stupidity, there is something you can do.
Stop. Feeding. It.
Accept that we all have some sort of ego problem, and you as well.
Accept that you have mostly been the copilot of your own life so far.
Accept that you are not the exceptionally unique perfect divine soul your spiritual guru want you to believe you are.
Stop chasing highs like you belong in the sky.
You probably have an ego problem.
I do, as well.
And when you start to accept it, and to be aware of it, then only you can pilot your life.
Stop feeding this forever craving monster, and it will start to shrink.
But beware, it’s always there, ready to grow back if you feed it again.
Your ego never dies, it’s part of you.
You can’t kill it, you can only learn how to balance your life with it..
.. Just like the universe balances the day and the night, the light and the darkness, the good and the evil.
