Losing the Ego

Losing the ego Swallowing your pride Embodying your philosophy Metamorphosis - manifesting inside The ego you carry Around in your head The illusion of importance Sense of self; dead The ego craves attention Loquacious; trivialities all the time Desiring affirmation Pompous thoughts in his mind Validation is necessary Recognition a must Exposing the façade The ego gets crushed Losing the ego Curtain close for the show The end of an image Liberation - letting go Now you’re in charge You’re content being you Pridefulness lowered Character comes through Humility in life Being true to yourself Conquering the ego Mastering of oneself “The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion becomes your identity that can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do is a backwards way of assessing and living life” -Wayne Dyer

Nicely stated, Kelly, and spot on. Ego, deceptive with its host, presents a fake illusion, making the real self seem like a bothersome intrusion. I like Wayne Dyer, too. All the best. :) ~ Artsie

Thank you Artsie! Its the true self false self dichotomy. Socrates said it best.... "If you want to become great, become the person you present yourself to be"
