You add a notch to your belt with a course, certification or goal. But when you chase the feeling of being revered or looking good you end up making yourself and others miserable.

Your ego stops the flow of light and information into your brain. Ego is faithless.

In contrast, when you humbly act in service to survival, thriving and passing it on, you are working outside your superficial ego.

You want applause yet you would be better served by the intention of letting go of outer embellishments and concentrating instead on inner healing.

Remain honest with self even if it’s not pretty or saintly. And, remember there is a difference between selfishness and self-preservation.
