My ego can at times cause me grief in an assortment of ways. Often I find that when my ego is running amok, I become obsessive in my thinking and it is a smoke screen for my low self esteem and worth. I had a particular situation arise sometime back in which i was asked to do something in which I had agreed to. When the task was done it brought so much assistance to another person. Several months down the track I still think about that one event as if it had occured yesterday. I have to remember that what I did was a god calling and that any success was his not mine. Today I pray for humility and for god to reduce my ego and bring my self esteem to an equal level. I have to admit that when my ego is rising I really don't like myself all that much. it is a character defect that i least favour. I would love to hear other peoples ideas on how they deal with ego in their daily lives and what they do to combat it. Often when i look back at myattitudes or behaviour I end up laughing at myself at what a goof I've been.

As a troll in life, I used to take myself so seriously that no one else in the world mattered. Today, more matter....(still working on the rest...something about that word "all") Laughing I have a road ahead that can be happy, joyous, and free as I travel along with HP and my fellow trudgers, or it can be just so many opportunities for me to prove just how important I really am......you know, there are moments when I have hesitation in making that decision....but, most of time, I listen to HP and just keep trudging with everyone else. Laughing Laughing Yep, rule 62....serious? Not when HP is "taking the point".
