Just processing about the ego and how to conquer negativity

Sometimes my thoughts take me into making up scenarios like what if this happens and they find out I am really like this because of my shortcomings or mistakes, weaknesses and I go into detail about the horror of it. Well you know we can’t change the past so don’t go there use what is learned to work with to try to gain more motivation to complete dreams small and large and better ourselves each day and there will be the days that seem we are going backwards but maybe actually we are just shifting up into the new advanced levels so it’s harder and we struggle more but we are not failing, it will just take time. And the ego, that thinking that loves to focus on the self, which messes with us, becomes tamer when we start learning to be still and focus elsewhere.

Off to work on my dreams my beautiful people! ❤️ love you 😍

P.s. when you catch yourself wanting or worrying or feeling inferior or superior or having contestant mind (comparing) then say to yourself , “that is a function of my unconscious conditional mind.” And separate yourself and your being from those thoughts.

Hiya Starrlight,

One minute at a time. What an inspirational post. I found this and Sophie's Mother Theresa quote today. I needed them both.

I never followed her work at all. I just visited that post as Sophie is so sweet and I was curious. Then I read it over and over.

I am trying so hard to find some way I can contribute what I can to moments of hope in our lives. Not easy for me. My post (below) is for that. Sure would like it if something / anything occurs to you to add there.
