Tame Your Ego, Expand Your Life

“How much larger your life would be if your [Ego] could become smaller in it.” – G.K. Chesterton

When we let our Egos run our lives we constrict ourselves, significantly.

We miss opportunities to help others, grow (in necessary ways) and connect with people that we might not have otherwise.

More importantly, we deny our connection with everything and everyone.

I have long thought about consciousness and whether we are separate beings, or something else… ?

My best guess – so-far/currently – is that we are each localized points of awareness in a infinite field of energy. We have a perception of being unique and separate, but when we look deeper, when we look into the atomic depths – and beyond – we find that everything is made of the same “stuff” and that there’s no separateness at all.

So, do you see yourself as separate (or even as the center of a universe), or are you part of the larger whole?

Your answer will determine your experience (of everything… ) – choose wisely.
