Anything and Everything.

Would you rather be manipulated and lied to in order to feel safe or told the truth that challenges your beliefs?

This genuine question is not about judging right and wrong. It's about being honest with yourself. And allowing your truth to be seen is very uncomfortable for most people, including myself.

You see, our ego will do ANYTHING to survive and be "right" and "win." And I mean anything and EVERYTHING.

The ego uses the concept of our individual selves to maintain its "separateness" from one another so we can create an "enemy" to make those people over there "wrong" and "the loser."

One of the reasons we are all at war with each other is because the ego likes to make us FEEL "special." And by believing in our "specialness" by way of ego, this unconsciously means someone else can NOT be special too. This one little distinction is the foundation of every argument, fight, battle, and war.

And ALL of us are picking sides every day, myself included.

Yet the good news is we can do something about our pesky little ego.

It's called AWARENESS.

Whenever we see ourselves starting to argue, get frustrated, or want to make someone the "bad" guy, that's our ego talking on our behalf.

This awareness will take practice, which can be done—moment by moment, conflict by conflict. We can use every opportunity to take notes and pull in the reigns.

To add to the good news, our natural state of Being is Unconditional Love. So when we recognize we are adding fuel to the conversational fire, that's the moment we get to choose between letting the ego ride or stepping up into more Love.

I believe in US! We can do it!

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
