Who knew that 3 letters could lead to the destruction of any person and the people around them…. and sometimes we don’t realize it until it’s to late.
As a parent, when I had my kids, I was so grateful to God for the wonderful blessing that I was holding in my arms. And from the moment that I found out that I was pregnant, all I wanted for my children was nothing less than the best. And that’s when we are all taught, from the moment that we are born until the day we die….. EGO.

I love the thought that when we are in our mothers womb, everything is provided for us. We don’t stress about anything…..we just know that whatever we need, it will be there. Then when we are born, we are taught by our parents/guardians and society that we can not fall short of the best at everything. We are lead to believe that the more we have in life, the more we are accomplished in life, the more we are worth to others. The more we accomplish in life the happier we are.
From the moment that I heard this, I was never able to let it go. It all made sense to me, but how could this be something that I could put into practice?
For about a year now it sat in the back burner of my mind. And now, this moment, as I go through another life trial…. right when I feel lost, I get it!
It is now clear to me.
As we all know, no one is perfect. No situation, life, marriage or friendship is perfect. So now that I established that…. during a trial in my marriage, my first thought was, “What do I do know?” and after a couple of days of stressing out on what i should do or not do…say or not say….who to talk to and who not to, I remembered this teaching. I need to let go of my EGO… stop Edging God Out. I trust in the path that will come. I know that by letting my EGO go, everything that I need will be there for me. Be grateful for today… the beauty that was shown to you, despite the bad moment. Trust in God that your needs will be met. It is nice to know that while I deal with the pain and anger, I have someone that is aligning everything else around me. And it will all be ready for me when I’m ready. Our EGO blinds us from that beauty of knowing that we will be taken care of.
Life brings sucky moments, but that’s it… they are just moments. The good in life outweighs the bad. There is always something really good for you coming… trust and know it. Don’t let ego blind the LOVE that is around you.
Ego can be the one keeping us in the path of blindness. Our ego keeps us from admitting our faults. The faults that are hurting the ones we love. The sooner we escape our ego, the sooner we see what we did so that we can fix whatever life brings.
