Ego Traps

If you think is more "spiritual" to ride a bike to work or use public transportation, but then find yourself judging anyone who drives a car, you're in an ego trap.

If you think is more "spiritual" to stop watching television because it rots your brain, but then find yourself judging those who still watch TV, you're in an ego trap.

If you think is more "spiritual" to listen to classical music or soothing nature sounds, but then find yourself judging those who listen to mainstream or pop music, you're in an ego trap.

If you think is more "spiritual" to do yoga, become a vegan, buy organic, meditate, wear hippie / thrift shop clothing, read enlightened spiritual books, then you judge anyone who doesn't do those things, you're in an ego trap.

Always be aware of the feeling of superiority. Self-righteous superiority is your biggest clue that you are in an ego trap. The ego loves to sneak in the back door. It will take a noble idea, like starting up yoga, and then twist it to serve its own ends by making you feel superior to others; you will start to look down on those who are not following your righteous "spiritual" path. Superiority, judgement, and condemnation. That is the ego trap.

Trust Your Instincts

"There will be a few times in life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listens to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it."

Letter to her: 3

Today was a really hard day for me, Moms! All I could think about was you and how much I wish you were here to hold me. I wish you were still here, so I could hug and kiss you and tell how much you are loved. I though you would always be here for me and continue to guide me. I never realized how lost I would be without you. I miss you so much, no one even knows what I would give for just one touch. Why does everyone else get to have their moms near. Do they know I'd give anything to have my mother here? I'm sad and lost mom will you help me find my way? Will you get rid of the tears I cry each day? I know the answer and the answer is no cause for me to move on I have to let you go.

I love you xx
