Ego is this this higher conscious concept that we have of ourselves and we feel that we must live by it with a closed mind. We can be Self Aware of this concept or purely just blinded. I think the answer to this problem is being Self Aware and changing our current perception for the better.
When you fail to be your own boss,
You are giving somebody else the contract.
Respect the past, and prepare for the future by taking action in the present.
Peacefully and lovingly accepting who we are today requires honestly looking at our past.
Self-Empowerment is free to anyone who chooses to use it. It comes from within and nowhere else. You cannot buy it, borrow it, steal it or sell it. It is always available to you and never wears out. The only choice you have to make is whether or not you will use it.
Trusting yourself means living out what you already know to be true.
