Life gets complicated when you are not your true authentic self. When you live behind a veil, self-inflicted roadblocks will naturally appear on your path at some point. However, the sheer size of these obstacles will be considerably larger and more complex to resolve. Allowing your ego to make choices in your life will be your biggest downfall in the end. The bigger you allow your ego to grow, the bigger the fall from grace.
Sometimes a period of suffering or downfall is the only way for the ego to diminish when it has gotten too large or out of control. When we experience some form of sadness or pain, the ego is exposed and triggers self-awareness and reflection. Pain is often a time to reset our soul and focus on what really matters most. The pain creates a crack in the ego, and no matter how small the crack, the soul is able to shine through because the soul never dies.
Part of self-evolution is the ability to be humble. So learn to be humble. Admit your faults. Help others. Don’t let material success get to your head, change you, or take you off track. Just be authentic. Learn to create discipline for your ego and keep it contained because your ego will always try to come back, tempt you, and take over your soul. Remember, it is designed that way. Your ego may be a flaw, but use it as a tool to power your compassion. Move away from self-centered activities. Focus on the ‘We’ and not the ‘Me’. Let go of your ego. Period.
