LISTENING TO YOUR HEART........Do you know how?
Do you live life by listening to your heart? Or your ego? Do you know the difference?
Your heart will not allow you to be cruel, deceitful, unethical, shameful, etc. to others or yourself. The heart/soul is pure and utter love, it will keep you grounded on the right path and bring happiness to your life always!
The ego will not only allow you but will steer you right down the path of destruction. It is the main stumbling block in life. If you find yourself lying, hurting others; if you feel the pit in your gut, nervousness, uncertainty, you have allowed your ego to take over.
Take a look at the seven types of EGO characteristics. Do you notice the common thread? Which one do you relate to the most?
Self-Deprecation (belittling/diminishing/undervaluing oneself)
Self-Destruction (sabotaging/punishing/harming oneself)
Martyrdom (reacting as if persecuted/victimised/oppressed)
Stubbornness (resisting change in one’s life)
Greed (selfish overindulgence, over-consumption)
Arrogance (inflating/exalting/overvaluing oneself)
Impatience (reacting as though being sabotaged/obstructed)
Your ego is very self-serving, it really serves as a defense mechanism for life with a lot of negativity creating it. If I have the best car, the best clothes, the biggest house, the best job, the most toys, I will then be the best............doesn't work that way my friend.
So how do you know which is leading you right now?
1. Ask yourself are you undervaluing, and/or harming yourself or other loved ones in your life.
2. Are you looking to place blame on others for lack of..feeling as though you could always have better but the reason you don't is someone else's fault: they treat me this way, they get in my way of my dreams.
3. Refusing to see that you are reverting back to old painful ways, (for the ego is what we have learned, what we think others want us to be-it is not thinking for ourselves, but living life for continual praise, continual stroking).
4. Do you take care of YOU in every way, overindulgence?
5. Overvaluing yourself? Remember as quickly as a person gets to the top the ladder can be pulled out from underneath.
When you do things in your life that you feel you have to hide or conceal some part of, you are SOOOOO living in the "negative karma" zone and it will always come back to you in some way.
listening to your ego character flaws, is something you usually immediately know......it doesn't feel right, you have to lie, you hurt yourself and others, you worry, you fear, etc. When you have gotten to this point in your life, unless you "change your thinking" and get back to your heart/soul life will continue to be a barrage of negative outcomes.
When you are making a choice/decision in your life look at the questions above and see if any of them fit. If so, you ARE NOT listening to your heart!!!!!!!
So how do you listen to your heart? If you answer any of the questions above with a yes, immediately acknowledge it and move away from it. Your heart is your true essence of who you are. Listening to your heart brings you joy even in a difficult time. Listening to your heart allows you to do what is right rather than be led into temptation, allows you stand up for yourself and your loved ones! It is a the purest and strongest protector there is, for it allows you to walk through life without placing unwanted burdens on your shoulders.
So live true, listening to your heart is easy for the answer is always the right one.
