The Pitfalls Of Ego…

One of the biggest ego issues so many people are still struggling
with is judgement. I’m not totally sure how we all got so hooked by
judgement, but it is one of the more serious issues we need to tend to.
If you are one of the people just waking up and hearing about going
within and clearing stuff out, put judgement at the top of your list. It
has gotten us in more trouble and led us so far astray from where we
should be. It’s strange, if you think about it for a minute, how in
heaven’s name did we become comfortable with judging those around us?
What a terrible thing it is to do! It creates that Holier Than Thou
attitude and walls us off even further from the world. It is easy to
slip into and unless you have trained yourself to watch your words and
thoughts , you may not even know you are doing it. Beware!
Judgement is at the heart of most of today’s struggles in the world,
especially the problems festering between countries. That feeling of
being better than and looking down upon someone or something. We get set
in our ways and before you know it we think everybody else around us
should be doing things the way we do or else something is wrong with
them. Countries see themselves as superior to other countries and try to
force them to do things a certain way instead of letting them do things
the way they choose to do. It creates a bully and pushy attitude that
encroaches on other people’s lives. It creates anger and fighting and
mistrust and unfortunately, it eventually creates war.
It causes bad feelings within as well. The more you judge the more
you alienate yourselves from others, you no longer feel comfortable
around people, you feel different than, less than or more than, nothing
is just right with your world. What a horrible way to live. You hurt and
wound others and you don’t even realize what you are doing to your self
in the end. If you can’t accept those around you for the way they are,
your world shrinks and you find yourself having fewer people to interact
with comfortably. It creates loneliness and separation. Imagine how big
the world would become to you if there were no limitations, no walls
going up, you were able to accept everyone and every thing, and you felt
comfortable in your life. That is truly going with the flow.
So if you want to work on things within yourself to become a better
person, zero in on judgement and become mindful of how you go about your
day everyday. The same with our word and our thoughts. Remain mindful
of them as well. It takes some discipline at first and a willingness to
pay close attention to your behavior, but after a short while the
process becomes second nature to you and you just do it without even
thinking about it. If you want to change and become a better person you
will find the incentive to do it and keep up with it and soon your life
will begin to turn around. Give it a try to find peace within. The world
around you may still be out of whack, but you will have changed, you
can feel good about yourself and the energy you exude to others around
you will encourage them to do the same thing. We are changing quickly
now, join in and make a difference in the world.
