Would you rather be right or would you rather be successful?            

In each of us there is a little inner critic that loves to cause havoc with our goals. That little engaging voice that constantly tells why we can’t succeed and fills us with fear just loves to be right! Your ego, which is merely a collection of all your past thoughts and feelings, can only justify its existence through suffering and pain. It creates problems for itself just so that it can solve them in order to justify its preconceptions and beliefs.              

Your ego loves problems! It thrives on them. If you lived in a world without problems or things to complain about your ego could not survive. This is one of the reasons many spiritual disciplines strive to “kill” the ego and free the spirit within. When you quiet that egotistical inner critic you free yourself to have, be and do whatever you want in life.            

In order to feel worthy the ego has to be right! At the expense of everything else that you want in life the ego will do anything and everything to protect its own existence. Remember the ego is merely a collection of beliefs, thoughts and emotions in the subconscious mind. If you eliminate these subconscious programs you can eliminate the ego and its need to be right about all the terrible things in your world!            

So would you rather be right or would you rather be successful and happy?

The ego can only see things in a black and white way. As far as the ego is concerned things can only be either good or bad, and either right or wrong. It has no real judgement or analytical abilities. It does not see the grey area that exists in all life. For example, for you to have more money the ego tells you someone else has to lose some. By gaining more money you are depriving someone else of it. But this is complete erroneous thinking.
 

If you were to gain the money to build a mansion would that money be depriving someone else? Would it be lost to the masses?

  

No!

To build the house you must give some money to the construction workers, electricians, carpenters etc., and in that way the money flows. Then they in turn give money to the baker for their bread and farmer for their milk. The money just gets recycled and you get a mansion. But the ego would have you believe you are living in luxury and it’s your fault people are living on the streets!           

You created this little monster and only you can destroy it!             

So when you find yourself trying to protect your individual rite to be right stop and think for a moment. Are you feeding your ego? Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?            

The truth is your ego is responsible for all your troubles and all your sorrow. It justifies its existence through your pain and suffering and deprives you of your birthright – your unlimitedness!             

Would you like to claim the unlimited bounty that was set aside for you from birth and start to experience the life of your dreams? Then visit now http://www.personal-development.info/release-technique.html.
