Have you ever noticed that you are most relaxed when you first wake up?  This is one of the best times to catch your deeper consciousness which knows your purpose.  Here is how to listen:  Just before you go to sleep, decide to receive information on your purpose during the night.  Put a pad and pen on your bedstand. Then, first thing when you wake up, write down your impressions, words, pictures, thoughts or feelings.  Catch them before you start thinking about the day.  It takes practice for some, but after a couple of times, you will catch some insights.  These will help you see if you are on your path, or give you hints of what your path really is.  For more on intuition and purpose see Take the E Out of Ego and GO! chapter 7.   What is your purpose?  How did you find it?  Check our the Two for One Summer Special on our home page!  Plus we are on Amazon, also for Kindle!

“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.

When we feel challenged by change, fears can creep in.  Summer is a unique time to enjoy the out of doors, breath deeper and start something fresh and new!  What about a change to self empowerment?

In Go Power Point #8 Jerry says  “Don’t buck the tide, swallow your pride and jump in the water, catch the wave and ride it toward your goals.”  You don’t have to be a surfer dude to ride a wave.  But it is necessary to have a goal to ride a wave toward it!  Many of us go to the beach, float around, as we do in our life without a goal.

Try something this summer:  set a goal to get to know yourself better, become a better friend of yourself.  That means self empowerment.  Give yourself the pat on the back of encouragement.  Enjoy the summer – take some of the power of the ocean and ride it to a goal – pick one.  Then keep catching the wave, practicing over and over till you reach it!  This will be a summer you will remember! 

PS Take the E Out of Ego & GO! Makes a wonderful graduation gift – young adults will find it a fun read with lots of sports analogies, a couple army stories, and a Handbook of keys to a successful life without ego.

When you leave your ego on the sidelines and work with your team as a group, you are a winner no matter the outcome of the game.

Take the E out of Ego and GO!  by Jerry and Donna Govan

Removing Roadblocks to Success with powerful secrets to prosperity, relationships, healing  and FUN!

Under a HUGE Banyan tree in Cambodia, Bev and Buz Nason pose to get a boost of GO Power from the book “Take the E out of EGO and GO!” which they have been getting signed by the teams and countries on the Global Scavenger Hunt they are competing in. Buz is the oldest male contestant, and Bev is the most traveled female contestant on the Hunt.

They were coming in around the middle of the pack of 10 teams as they came out of Copenhagen, Denmark on their way to Iceland before returning to Boston on May 9th. They left April 17th from Seattle for the global trot for charity sponsored by Great Escapes. This is the 5th year of the Global Scavenger Hunt, the first year for Bev and Buz. We are so grateful that they agreed to take our book along.

This well traveled book will be auctioned off on Ebay next week and the proceeds will be donated to the Great Escape Foundation which helps many people though organizations like Doctors without Borders, CARE and many others. The organization is getting more involved in building schools in Africa as their most recent contribution to world education. If you choose to donate, you can find the link on the front page of EoutofEGO.com. 

Exciting news today!  Our book is almost ready to be sold on the largest book website in the world.   Take the E out of Ego and GO!   will be available in about two weeks on Amazon.com!

Buz and Bev in India

Wow, our book (traveling with Bev and Buz) has been from Scottsdale AZ to Seattle, WA, to Taiwan, Cambodia, Thailand, New Dehli India, and now is in Istanbul, Turkey!  Buz said that the imigration officer in India even wrote a note that we were welcome back!  It is fun traveling the world with our book and the blog for the global charity.

Stay tuned; we plan to auction this well traveled and signed book on Ebay sometime after May 9th on the completion of the Global Scavenger Hunt. We really hope Bev and Buz win the most points!

Take the E Out of EGO and GO! by Jerry & Donna Govan will be taken on a Global Scavenger Hunt with Bev & Buz Nason of Scottsdale, Arizona.  They will be doing a blog of the trip as they progress. The book will be signed by each winner of the “legs” of the global hunt! 

This is for charity, so this well traveled copy of the book will be auctioned off on Ebay and proceeds donated to the Global Escape Foundation.

We hope you will check in and see where, Buz and Bev are, as they really Take the E out of Ego and GO!

Thanks to the backing of wonderful supporters in Las Vegas, our Wednesday night book signing was a great time for all.  

Near the bright lights of the famous Vegas “Strip”, Transformations a Healing Place sponsored the evening with refreshments and a well filled room of enthusiasts for our EGO refinement presentation.  As we often find, the attendees know so much about the subject that they offer a dynamic interchange of ideas and feelings on how we can change the world – a few people at a time!  We were especially excited to have in attendance our famous Jazz singer friends, Don and Alicia Cunningham, and our long time Las Vegas real estate friends, Michael Circuit and Raye Plehn. 

The owner of Transformations, Victoria Stitzer, promoted the very successful evening.  The venue provided a superb healing environment for our presentation.  During the event, we focused on delightful and in-depth techniques regarding ways to remove the immature Ego from emotion filled communications in relationships and financial matters.

We have been invited back to do a workshop in June and look forward to coming back to Las Vegas this summer.

It Was Like Giving up Chocolate or Candy..

I’m not a formally practicing Catholic or Protestant, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t times to give up some habits for a Lent season! I decided it was a good time to find a habit which was in my way of being more successful!

As a life practice, metaphysics is more my style than religion. Metaphysics to me is positive thinking and pretty free of dogma or ritual practices; it usually has affirmations instead. However, this area of frustration I decided to give up is something I had realized I had been living with for several months now. It needed to be out of my life. That is what caught my breath when the season of lent was mentioned to me. I remember from my religious training, it was a time to give up something that I really liked for a while – forty days (i.e. more than a month). In my background, I couldn’t remember anything I used this for. But right then, I could think of something I really needed to use it for – this really comfortable habit of frustration. (more…)

Here we are in Germany having a great time!  But 6 months before that we were wondering if we were ever going to break loose of a stuckness. We planned, dreamed, talked about for over 2 years that we were going to go to back to Europe.  (Jerry had been there 50 years earlier and me 30 years earlier).  But Jerry ended up in the hospital with ecoli (serious case 3 weeks in the hospital) and then he had another health challenge dealing with altitude and his heart.  I began to set our dream of traveling to Europe, let alone the rest of the world on the back, very back burner.

Worse than that I found myself resenting this situation while I was doing everything it took to love him and us through that year.  Then, I realized what I was doing to myself, and us – I was letting more and more of the resentment chisel away my dream of going back to Europe.  I was just letting it build up inside of me, right in the front of my gut.  The more I tried to get rid of it, the more I resented it. Ugg. (more…)

LOVE………………EGO Once upon a time there was an island, where all the feelings lived together.One day there was storm in the sea and the island was about to get drowned.

Every feeling was scared but Love made a boat to escape.

Every feeling boarded the boat. one feeling was left.

Love got down to see who it was..

It was EGO..

Love tried and tried but ego wasn’t moving also the water was rising.

Every one asked love to leave him and come in the boat, but love was made to love.

At last all the feelings escape and Love dies with ego on the island..

Love Dies because of EGO.

The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this: you cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead. If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty.Posted by EoutofEGO.com Blog at 2/2/2009 10:08 PM
