Aware of Ego

The ego had been a driving force through out my life. I had been seeking acceptance from the outside that had already been met from within but I wasn't aware of it. Most of us tend to seek first from the external before ever seeking from the internal. This is cause we act without faith, but instead with what we physically can see in the restricted dimensional view. The acceptance from the external brought me further away from the truth; the I AM. The appreciation of ones true self, seems not to be realized till one becomes aware of the ego and its deceptions. To understand ones journey, courage has to take hold to accept that misguided direction that was taken by oneself when led by ego. We must humble ourselves and walk in humility to remove the belief that the external observations were what gave us life and worthiness. We then take a step with courage against the old beliefs and create new beliefs,unique beliefs, our own beliefs that pleases ourselves and not beliefs that have to be or need to be accepted or approved by external influences. As it has been said, the ego is part of the totality of the experiences of our journey. With this being the case, we must just be aware of it, and allow our awareness to co-create the reality that is true from within.
