I fully credit the lady Laura Aboli for this wisdom! The ego is impatient, it knows its time is limited, after all it’s just this life’s avatar. Your soul however, is patient, it knows it’s timeless and eternal.
The more you allow your soul to be the driver of your life, the greater the sense of peace, patience and understanding you will enjoy.
The ego is useful but must be placed in its rightful place, which is not the driver’s seat. Let your ego work for you, the greater you, not for itself.
Everything in life is about balance, getting the right cooperation between ego, heart and soul is not always easy but it’s the only way to a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life.
Your soul knows it’s purpose, but it can’t achieve anything without your ego, your ego cares only about survival and self-preservation and your heart is often not in the right place.
The starting place is understanding the purpose and meaning of life, once you do, you know you must listen to your soul first and foremost. Your heart will soon cooperate and with these two in cohoots, keeping your ego in check and on target, becomes much easier.
Life is work in progress; an ongoing, endless succession of lessons that one must take on one’s stride. But there’s always the satisfaction of tests passed, of hurdles overcome, of big and small achievements enjoyed and if done consciously and with awareness, of a sense of evolution, fulfilment and contentment.
It’s not easy, but it’s not impossible either, practice makes perfect, so it’s about grounding yourself, understanding your inner power, knowing you are more than this, listening to your soul, nurturing your heart, forgiving and forgetting the past, learning from it, transcending the material and the mundane, appreciating the beauty within us and around us, being grateful for the important things in life and knowing that this is just meant to be an experience, a chance to be, to do, to feel.
You’ve got this! Keep going! 😊
Laura Aboli.
