We can travel for days, living on top of the world… and then our world can coming crashing down with just one train of toxic thoughts. Over-taken with ominous chatter, worry and shame — we’re hostages to our own thinking. We begin to question our dreams, hopes and desires. Paralyzed by an old tale. We keep quiet. Good things don’t happen to people like us, is our silent mantra. Little do we know… we’re under attack yet again.
So what do we do with such a critic? Do we fire back with negativity or insult? Do we remain silent and believe the fiction being told? Absolutely not!
Our silence is like a plague, infected by old stories, laced with projections and patterns handed down from one generation to the next. The cure, is to break the silence. To create a dialogue with Ego, where we’re in charge — not ego. Our loving thoughts are the vaccination. We need to get very clear with our intentions and dictate to Ego its new roll as our advisory. We then become the protector of our own kingdom, our internal domain. In our clarity we’ll have the ability to know when ego has forgotten its new role. It will challenge us. We will feel anxious, upset and worry. Our chest will tighten, full of uncertainty. We will feel hopeless and defeated all over again. This is a true sign that we’ve left our post and its time to take charge of thoughts again.
We are good people. We’re worth claiming this title over self. Ego knows this. That’s why it will battle hard to keeps its position. It wants to protect you from change, from growth…from something it doesn’t know. Ego is about the win though. Which is why its imperative to keep a mindful watch. Status quo is no longer an option if we wish to move towards peace and freedom in our lives.
