Lately I’ve been waking up listening to Wayne Dyer – and today he said something I really found interesting. He talked about how dangerous the ego is in our lives – and if only we could give ourselves an “egoectomy.” Then Wayne Dyer listed the following as the six components of the ego:
1. I am what I have. My possessions define me.
2. I am what I do. My achievements define me.
3. I am what others think of me. My reputation defines me.
4. I am separate from everyone. My body defines me alone.
5. I am separate from all that is missing in my life. My life space is disconnected from my desires.
6. I am separate from God. My life depends on God’s assessment of my worthiness.
MY ASSIGNMENT TO YOU:
Today as you go about your day, become aware of how much your ego is chattering at you – distracting you from what really brings the truest happiness in life!
