"Now, just as you see the wave disappearing into infinity, look at yourself and see if any of the following feelings are present: a giggle, the desire to laugh at it all; a shrug, as if the whole thing is no big deal; a sense of calmness or peace; looking at yourself as if at another person; a deep sigh of relief or exhaustion; a feeling of release or letting go; a sudden realization that the other person may be right."
Hey Robert, as a converted believer in self-development and appreciation, that sounds like a book worth investing in.
Although I can hold my hand up and (truthfully) say that I have never allowed the ego thing to invade any area of my life, there was a period in my life when I allowed husband and partners to smother my confidence and leave me riddled with insecurities about my physical self...
It took me years to eventually realise that I had to stop and take a good look at myself and begin to love and accept myself for who I am, not who other people wanted me to be.... and just as importantly, not to expect others to be who I want them to be, but to accept them for who they are, and to remember that I have a choice to stay or go. It took an investment of my time to read books such as the one mentioned above, and over a period of time to learn to accept and value me for who I am, not who others wanted me to be...
Now, I am not a materially wealthy person, but I am enjoying a wealth of good health, self-confidence, tolerance.... and still be nutty enough to giggle and laugh at myself as at others...
So, yes.... wanting to kill the ego? Way to go I say. Reggie? Well, I'm new to Reggie, so don't think I'll go there
Yep, tomboygirl, if it carries on like this, you wont have any trouble spotting me tomorrow night.... I will be the one in the funky pink wellies tomorrow night
