Letting Go Of The Ego

The ego uses the the "Thinking Mind" and can have a huge impact on one's journey through life. The more I let my ego rule my actions, the less intentional my life becomes, the less I can experience my entire self.

It's hard to self-actualize when there is a portion of me that thinks everything is a problem, that life is meant to be survived, rather than lived.

By recognizing the thinking mind as a mere component of that greater self, I can confront the thinking mind and let go of my ego. I can step out of my problem-solving headspace and see what remains.
