Ego Versus Self What Are You Fighting For

The Ego wants more, more, more and it believes you must fight to get it, is that correct?
Imagine for a moment that you grew up in some village that is cut off from almost everyone outside the village and in your village everyone tells you and everyone else in the village that 4+4 = 7 .
Somewhere inside you there is a deep knowing that this is incorrect. However, everyone who surrounds you tells you 4+4=7. The village newspaper says 4+4=7; the village radio station says 4+4=7, your mother, father, sister, brother and everyone you know all agree 4+4=7. The truth is that everyone in the village is going to be willing to fight to hold onto their collective reality and…
it will take courage to stand up and say “no” and do what is right for you, your heart and soul.
Do you now begin to understand how hard it can be to stand in your truth when you are confronted with this ‘truth’ at every turn? Do you see how easy it would be to just go along with what they are saying? In fact you may even begin to think you are a little crazy for thinking differently than they do. That 4+4=7 could be about money, however it could just as easily be a message about health, finding an excellent life partner or anything else you desire.
Here’s the news: You don’t have to fight to achieve abundance ; the ‘Truth’ is that it naturally flows to you and all of us . What you must be willing to fight against is the limited, restrictive mindset that bombards you. Because if you cannot fight beyond the conditioning your ego-mind will never see beyond your own conditioning and the messages you are being fed every single day.
We’ve talked about how important it is to understand that money, wealth and abundance doesn’t have to be hard to achieve, even in an economic downturn. However, as I’ve said many times that doesn’t mean you get to sit around nurturing some false idea of entitlement, some false concept that the world owes you something.
Yes you are unique in your expression in the world, but unique doesn’t make you ‘special’ or ‘better than’, that’s just ego shit.
To achieve the kind of abundance you may dream of, you must express your unique value in the world, and that my friends will take effort. In simple terms you will have to get off your bum, go out into the world, face the possible rejection and peddle your wares.
Now even though you don’t actually have to fight to get abundance and all you have to do is let it in , that is, much easier said than done. Here’s why: You don’t need to fight for the wealth but the irony is that you very well may need to fight to break out of the personal and collective conditioning that says you do and the ego-mind says is true.
It’s an interesting irony isn’t it? Just think about it for a moment or two . You live, (as do we all) inside a system that tells you at every turn that money, wealth and real abundance is hard to come by , and even though you may know at some deeper level, that’s just not true , you (we) are bombarded with information that says it is true. We are conditioned to want more, more, more, but what do we really need? What is it that’s really important to us? And what if it’s free?
Once again I remind you this is the time to turn fear into power! To stand up and follow your heart, to grab a hold of the opportunities that are knocking at your door.
Our modes of thinking and the way we have operated in the world are coming to a close; we must embrace change and opportunity at every turn.
Those who choose to quickly embrace change will flourish.
Again: It is time to invest in you! What does that mean? Invest emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and despite the economic scare tactics, FINANCIALLY too.
Invest in your most valuable asset, your development . It’s time to invest in your hopes, your dreams, your heart and your soul. Invest in what takes you out of the limited mindset . Remember that fear is perpetrated to keep us ignorant and only those who are willing to know shall be truly free.
Personally I’d rather play with the ego instead of fighting it. I did that recently: Click here to see a great, (and FUN) video for you that show what the ego wants verses want is at the center for the Self.
Feel free to comment on the video here and on youtube.

Until next time, live with courage, Dov…
