Ego - Who Will You Be In Control, You Or It

Is my ego important?

A force for good and not just leading me on to ever greater or is it risky endeavors and actions? Can this be good for me?

Is it a matter of confidence?

I want to be conscious but not self-conscious.

I want to feel important but not to have that wagging my tail, my tongue and leading my actions.

I want to have pride in what I do?

Should I think more about what I do and think? I do not want them taking me over do I? I need to be in charge of things. The conductor and not just a member of the orchestra - led by another, or at least another part of me.

I need to feel one with myself. I want to have an ego, but also want to have and express and be humble. I want to be confident but not overly assertive or aggressive.

I want to be motivated but not by self-interest. Rather I would like my actions to contribute to a greater cause.

But how do I get beyond the humdrum, the ordinary, the way I am?

Look at life, your life more closely. See more in it. What you do and how you do it.

If you do not like something do your best to improve, alter or change it.

Use your individuality to make a difference. But you may need to start at home, with yourself, first.

You can then tackle the world with confidence and motivation. And you will be more of the person you want to be, a bit at a time.

You can do it.
