We all fall into our ego. Sometimes we get lost in it.
But we cannot let ourselves sink in the convoluted ego. We cannot let ourselves sink for any reason. No matter if there is an issue of inferiority or superiority. Neither one is indicative of our worth. And neither one allows for a full and healthy representation of who we are. Therefore, neither one allows us to contribute fully to mankind as the Universe intended us to.
Our purpose is presence. Nothing more, nothing less.
What we do with our presence on Earth is a bonus of being present. A bonus of being alive in presence.
The world will have us believe “you are what you achieve”. The world will convince us “you are what you have”.
Does that ever satisfy the human soul? Never.
So, what if instead we rejoice in the simple beauty of existence? And the practice of “you are who you are”. And delight in simply being.
That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.
It’s not forbidden fruit. Reach out and taste it. Delicious life on repeat as long as you choose it.
Through every moment, regardless of how it’s shaded. Choose presence, choose simplicity, choose life. It is a choice every single day.
