Dear Ego, You’re Fired!

Dear Ego, You are fired!
Thanks for your work, but your service is no longer needed.

You have been in control of my thoughts and behaviours- shaping the way I see the world.

You have programmed my senses to see the world through a fearful lens. From your perspective, I have felt separate from others. Different. Lonely.

You told me that I needed to be more in order to be accepted. Who I am was never enough. I needed to be smarter, work harder, be more beautiful. Achieve more. Strive for more. Want more.

It’s exhausting. You are insatiable. I can never please you or meet your unrealistic expectations.

In order to meet your conditions of worth, I chose to please others and compromise my wants because I needed their approval. I have needed to control time, space, and outcomes. I’ve needed to push myself- compete and compare myself to others in fear I would fail or be rejected.

I never thought of questioning you, never doubted your intent. I thought your way was the only way.

Until now.

There is another part of myself rising. This once gentle whisper is now a truth I can no longer ignore. It’s shining a spotlight on the illusions you have created. Your darkness is being exposed.

In your defense, I know you were protecting me. The wounds of emotional pain have been stuck in my body. My senses have been programmed to scan for outside threats to keep me safe. In my trance, I didn’t realise I was stuck in fear- searching for safety instead of peace. Moving away instead of towards. Stuck in the past instead of future-focused.

Courage is calling. Freedom is calling. Joy is calling.

It’s time to say goodbye. I know you are there to protect me when I need. You have made me strong and aware. I am ready to unlearn your harmful ways.

Now I am dropping my shield and opening my heart. The light in me is my protection. Connected to a higher force it radiates pure consciousness into me and through me. I am this light and it is radiating brighter than ever.

Be still, my beautiful child. You no longer need to be scared, for I’ve got you now.
