Ego isn’t always a bad thing unless you’re using it to hurt others.x
Right.
Having a big ego, not so great, but also not so bad.
You can use your ego to sort of.
manifest the things that you want, not so much get the things you want, but it's a bit like a confidence thing.
Having too much of an ego is a bit like a fool's game.
It's an empty shell without any characteristics.
It's like, I saw this film once and the guy once said, an empty can rattles loudly.
So if you've got an empty tin, you throw a stone and you rattle around, it makes a lot of noise.
If you have too much ego and you use it consistently... then you're just an empty tin with a stone inside you making a lot of noise, but there's no substance to you.
Now, if you have substance behind some of the things that you want and desire, then you are more likely to get the things that you want however some people shy away from their from their egotistical side because um if you're from a yoga background they will say you know you should do yoga your ego is not good for you blah blah blah blah blah and then you'll see them yoga teachers on instagram throwing their legs in the air saying like follow my flow do this and look my thousand followers and it was like wait you're the one that told me you know that ego is bad but here you are being very egotistical and then you know you if you say something like that the people will come back yes but you know they have goddesses or gods and blah blah blah blah blah blah your ego is your own okay it's there for a reason to give you that little kick to get you to where you need to be it's useful to use it in the circumstances that require it not useful when it is not required okay If you feel that you are very egotistical and you are actually an empty shell, you might want to take a step back and be like, wait a minute, why am I being so full of myself about a scenario that I actually... can't handle myself you're digging yourself into a hole right in some cases right it will get you to where you need to be but then you need to back up what you are say that you're capable of doing okay this temperance card is is about all again harmonizing that whole yin yang thing okay what are you more of what are you less of where can you build yourself up right these are all elements which uh when can combined it compound compound mixed together drawn together i don't know blended together whatever okay when they are uh you know when they're in sync there you go when they're in sync you're more likely to be a bit more harmonious within yourself and that raises your energetic vibration to attract more of what you want and in some cases you may attract some of the things that you don't want but eventually they will feed themselves out as long as you stay on the path of trying to balance.
Balance is not easy okay I'm not saying okay you're going to be doing this tomorrow it's an ongoing life process okay it's a bit like one day you'll feel very very balanced and then you're You'll be like, oh, I'm just going to get a nice little nap in.
And then you wake up and your shoulder hurts.
And you're like, well, now I feel out of balance because I work as a waiter and now I can't carry plates.
OK, so you get knocked off balance and then you rebalance.
Then, oh, my knee now hurts.
What's happening here? You know, life throws you.
It doesn't throw you through challenges.
It just your body adapts and life adapts and you adapt.
And it's a whole adaption game.
All right.
Best thing you can do is just ask yourself these questions.
When do I need my ego? When do I not need my ego? Is there anything that I'm being a bit too over egotistical about? Am I too stubborn? Am I a bit too full of myself in certain circumstances where I don't really need to be? Okay, can I say sorry? Can I say, is it up to the other person say sorry and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc.
Okay, there were lots of circumstances which surround this whole ego thing.
But you've got to make sure that you're not too over-egotistical and use your ego whenever you need to do it, okay? And when we do it, we do not do it in the sake of getting ourselves further than someone else.
We use it in a way that betters ourselves, okay? And that's about it.
