Let us know the difference
between those who feed our ego
and those who feed our soul.
Stupidity combined with
arrogance and a huge ego will
get us a long way. The ultimate
aim of ego is not to see
something, but to be something.
It is easier to be truthful
because we don’t have to
remember anything.
If
our ego starts out, 'I am
important, I am big, I am
special,' we are in for some
disappointments when we look
around at what we have
discovered about the
Our ego is what
keeps us away from self
growth. We should
understand our ego
patterns so we can
eliminate our unwanted
habits/actions.

universe. No, we are not big. No, we are not. We are small in time and in
space. And we have this frail
vessel called the human body
that is limited on Earth.
The difference between ego and
self respect is often
misunderstood. Ego is endorsed
by imposed superiority over
another that is backed with
arrogance etc., while self
respect is endorsed by seeing
both sides of an argument not
being taken for granted and
accepting victory and defeat in
a gracious manner.
Real self-love
means loving and
accepting yourself
completely and
unconditionally for all
that you are including
your flaws and
imperfections. It means
embracing your shadow
side for it teaches you
about life. It mean
being the real you
without putting your ego
up front.

I believe
that we are at a very low level
of consciousness, when we do not
know the difference between ego
and self respect and we do not
know how to treat each other as
human beings. We are caught up
in our own lives, our own needs,
and our own ego gratification.
Our ego can become an obstacle
to our life. If we start
believing in our greatness, it
is the death of our creativity.
By Tim Pedrosa
Self-love is
when you put yourself
first without being
selfish, when you listen
to your mind and heart
and decide to take a
moment and breathe,
heal.
Ego is your idea about
yourself and
your feeling of how
important you are.
