Question The Ego

Each day is an opportunity and a challenge.

The question is: Who is showing up for that opportunity or challenge?

If it is an awakened consciousness rooted in the present moment, then anything is possible. One can create anything from that space.

If it is an ego rooted in the past, then it is limited. It has to act from a limited space of being - there are way the ego is and there are ways the ego is not. If we act through the ego we are on a track like a train in that we are bound to it.

Each challenge and opportunity tempts the ego. The ego is running the show by default. The ego is the thing that "makes sense" or "is logical" at first glance. But delve deeper and see that the ego is the root of all suffering, comparison, limitation, lonliness, aggression. The ego makes sense because we have grown up within it. Few have questioned it. "Is this the only way to live?"

There is another way. Prepare for each day by asking the question, "Who is showing up today?"
