To get out of your own way you first stop and take some deep breaths, and reflect on what is bothering you in the moment. “Am I trying too hard or just wanting to make something happen?” Can I ” ClueSo” it! (like the detective). There are usually many things to investigate! But when this happens you go right to the short cut , the culprit (?) Yes you guessed it, PRIDE. Yes, to get the Ego out of the way, you have to get your Pride out of the way. As Sherlock Holmes would say “Elementary my dear boy(girl)” but not always an easy task! But when tackled; you can get out of your own way. Once it is exposed, you can just say: “You’re outta here!” By the way, don’t forget to laugh at you when it is all over!
“Each of your stories fit in perfectly to the message that you are sending out.” …”I like how it was written; very easy to read and I didn’t need to be at a high intellectual level to understand the theme and deep meanings behind it. The ego can control a lot, but you two show that happens when the ego drops out of the race and the real leader comes to play.” More: see the Press Page.
How about those New Year’s Resolutions? How is everyone keeping focused? I have certainly been tested; in fact my Ego was quite busy getting me so nervous that I couldn’t sleep for 3 nights. It turned out to be the easier than I thought to keep up those new habits – just hang out with people who already have that type of success (they are already there), and it gets much easier. No more sleepless nights, I am in the groove. How about you?
Warm wishes for a meaningful and loving Holiday Season to you and your family!
Just like in all sports – if we leave our ego at the door – (out in the cold) – there is so much more room for warmth and true joy! We look forward to a powerful and expansive season of leaving the past in the past and seeing all dreams come true in a fresh new year! Donna & Jerry
We have been reviewing our past year and setting new goals. We have had such a powerful year, especially revolving around tremendous new people and building so many new relationships. As we expand and focus our goals for 2010, we continue to put that emphasis on continuing and building fulfilling, win-win relationships! We are excited! It helps to increase confidence and expand more and more positive relationships.
What gives you joy this holiday season? With the joy of expanding into our potential, the ego just can’t stop us! It’s just plain easy to be ego free when thinking of a friend and what they would love for a present! By the way, our book is that kind of insightful, fun, inexpensive, un-expected – present!
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to give up her her seat in the front section of a bus. If she was following the social standards of the times, that would have been pretty egotistical for an African American woman to do such an action. But in that case, perhaps she was simply trusting herself that she felt good about it and did what she felt. Sometimes it does take a lot of guts to trust ourself and it can even look like being egotistical if we stand out from others. Trusting yourself means a healthy, balanced ego, which is not egotistical.
We spend a fair amount of time reminding our egos to look at what we have accomplished. We remind ourselves at Thanksgiving to appreciate our riches, friends and lifestyle. Go ahead and savor our blessings, as we share them with others. We are grate-ful and great-full.
Confidence. Is there any other power that is easier than letting go of the past and allowing our natural belief in ourself to express? Really, we go like the wind if there is no thought in front of us as an obstacle.
Appreciating ourselves and people around us! Appreciate fully and it comes right back – fully! Be thankful before things happen, and they happen just as we believed.
