That’s so amazing what you wrote and gave me very valuable food4thought especially the question why we would want to destroy “ego”, such an important part of our SELF.
All I try to learn is to face my ego and smile.
I also wish to find people who love me enough to embrace ALL OF ME!
Oh well with that “ control-freak “ who tries to protect me in a way but messing up a lot, it’s kind of difficult.
I think life is meant to be difficult, where is the fun when everyone gets gold stars for everything they do, when everyone is a winner, why even run the race? I think people that really "love you enough to embrace you" do love all of you, even the control-freaky part that shines through the cracks every now and then. We are after all, all the scars, wrinkles, and cracks we have earned throughout our years that make us us. Self preservation is running the race to win for ourselves, it doesn't matter how many others win or even run the race, as long as we know we ran, we survived, we won, perhaps not in the sense of first place, but in our hearts, body, mind and soul, our spirit never lets us down.
I just copied and pasted to my notes because This is the Best reminder for myself and my “loved ones”. Thank you so so so much!!!
