"Your ego's job isn't to serve you. It's only job is to keep itself in power. And right now, your ego's scared to death cuz it's about to get downsized. You keep up this spiritual path, baby, and that bad boy's days are numbered. Pretty soon your ego will be out of work, and your heart'll be making all the decisions. So your ego's fighting for it's life, playing with your mind, trying to assert its authority, trying to keep you cornered off in a holding pen away from the rest of the universe. Don't listen to it."-Eat, Pray, Love-Elizabeth Gilbert

Sometimes I feel like the ego is trying to be reasonable but if it doesn't feel good it is ego.  To feel, see, hear, and live through your heart is not easy and is a daily struggle.  But it is the only way to feel joy, contentment, gratitude, and peace.  It is a battle worth the fight.  Peace.
