What is ego and is it powerful?

Ego is the "I" that is our personality. Realizing that the ego has been grown and socialized by our environments is key to helping our ego change. Our ego has a lot of power in our thoughts and feelings. But we can change our thoughts and behavior despite the resistance of the ego. And in the process the ego will grow healthier as well. This is not easy because the ego wants to live and doesn't want to change. Knowing this, can help us be released from the frustration of trying to change, but feeling like we've hit a wall. But be assured that you are stronger and your desires are more important than your old way of thinking (ego). We can become the person we want to be with faith and practice. ๐Ÿฅฐ
