Respond with your heart
Your ego is ever anxious to react to whatever comes your way.
Yet there is always a much more powerful and effective
course of action.
Instead of responding with your ego, respond to life with
your heart. Instead of allowing your actions to be driven by
petty, superficial concerns, let those actions come from the
center of your being.
Supporting the demands of your ego can quickly use up all
your energy, time and resources. In contrast, listening to
and living out the yearnings of your true self will bring
your life an ever-increasing abundance.
Ego will entice you with the promise of pleasure but will
always end up robbing you of real joy. Ego gives you only a
hollow image that can all too easily be shattered into
nothing.
The more you tune out the noisy ranting of your ego, the
more you'll touch the deep and awesome value of your true
self. The more completely you leave your ego behind, the
more power your efforts will have.
Respond with your heart. And live true to the unique,
authentic and valuable person you are.
