We have all heard about this word, ‘Ego’. Often we hear about a broken relationship, a lost friendship, a problem in the Office or even within a sports team. And when one asks what happened, the answer comes in a single word, ‘Ego’
So what is ego in simple terms? We have all heard it is basically a quality that can cause harm both to our own holistic development and also create a gap in our relationships.
Like you have an argument with someone you actually love.
Some words 'slip' out which you didn't really mean,
but , hey, now you are not backing off. And there is this crazy duality:
You know what you are carrying on saying, is not what you want, it’s not the way you want this talk to flare up, but it goes on, and on, almost as if your tongue has a mind of its own. And then, you bring your friend to tears, when actually you just wanted to express your point of view. This, is ego.
Ego makes you reach a point of no return. And hindsight makes you feel sorry about it.
But God always has some new windows, and the good news is that
' A point of no return' also becomes a point when you can introspect and discover your own Self .'Why did i do this' , also becomes a stepping stone for your own personal evolution.
Learn to use your ego to lead you to a positive Self esteem. It is the same ego which can also lead you to become a better team player, a better office associate , a wiser spouse, a compassionate friend.
You do not have to always suffer from your mistakes, you can learn from them and move on, to a more matured and wise version of yourself. Hmm.
So start today, do some introspection, and upgrade to the new you !
Aum Namah Shivaye.
