How to Stop Your Ego Taking Over


peace infinite waters diving deep once
again we are here breathing in that
beautiful prana my massive ego can you
imagine if everybody in the world who
has a massive ego they jumped on a song
together it will probably go something
like I’m the best no no I’m the best no
no I’m the best no no I’m the greatest
no I’m the greatest no I’m the greatest
look at my wife look at my car look at
my dress look at my muscles
I’m the best I’m the greatest look at my
feet and then Saul would come along and
and then they would continue now I got a
great question about the ego is the ego
good is it bad do we need it should we
keep it or should we become egoless let
me share with you what’s helped me along
my journey lessons learn about the ego
signs that my ego is getting bigger also
how to know if your ego is getting
bigger or how to grow even bigger ego
how to lose your ego okay let’s go into
it now growing up I was always thinking
that the ego was a bad thing right
you’ve got some monk somewhere
meditating and their desire is to have
no desire but you see even the desire to
have no desire is still a desire okay
work with me so the ego says I see all
of this chocolate cake I’m hungry I want
to eat it the heart says don’t do it
don’t do it oh no
just eating all of it right and then the
next day you can’t get up so the ego can
get you into a hell of a lot of trouble
now
ego says oh I see all of those juicy
strawberries over there the heart says
go for it eat it and ego says don’t
worry I just did okay so the ego has a
lot of pros and the ego has a lot of
cons it’s not a black-and-white issue
life is never black and white right you
got yellow you got pink and so and so so
you got to realize that the ego is
neither good or bad it’s all about how
it helps you become your greatest
version so Shia LeBouf the actor says he
was saying in this motivational video
just do it just do it
that is the ego right there I use the
ego along my journey to help me fuel my
greatest heart’s desires you got to have
the balance between the heart and the
mind you don’t just want to throw out
the ego okay but the first sign or
lesson learn I discovered about the ego
that it is getting bigger or whatever is
that you are not eating humble pie it’s
like that boxer who says I’m the best no
I’m the greatest one of you is lying
because we’re gonna find out right and
even when you lose you say all my
shoulder hurt or something kind I’m I’m
still the greatest so the ego was
designed to protect us in the first
place
it is a survival mechanism now the
psychologists Freud talks about how the
ego is the rational part between the aid
which is all about our unconscious
desires and the super-ego which is about
our morals now
along my journey what’s helped me is
realizing that I don’t want to just be
too humble right I would rather be seen
as an asshole
and be humble then pretend to be humble
and be an asshole
can I get a hello there because you see
many people I talk to
I talk to a hell of a lot of people man
going through some stuff they have
sometimes no confidence because they
were told growing up to have any desires
is bad so these people have grown up to
hate themselves you see the ego can
actually help you love yourself you got
all of these people on Instagram right
posing taking selfies now in my less of
old state in a less of off state I would
say these people are full of themselves
now I see that actually this could just
be a sign that they really love
themselves but you don’t have to keep on
taking the same pose love keep on doing
it I’m just playing Wii so you avoid
humble pie right people with massive
egos they’re not apologizing for their
greatness because they say greatness is
not an accident I worked hard for this
I’m amazing I know it right and
sometimes we think they’re showing off
now what’s helped me along my journey is
having that balance right because
sometimes when you know you are amazing
you’ve also got to realize you’re not
finished yet every single day I’m
learning more baby I am an eternal
student it’s not over yet so I realize I
am NOT even this close to my true
potential no I’m like that far away
right
I’m unfinished work so sometimes if we
are still stuck in our ego we think we
are finished we are complete but as you
move more into your heart space
you realize there are only infinite
possibilities now you become limitless
now
the second sign your ego may be taking
over a lesson I learn a lesson I learnt
is that many times we have chucked the
driver out I’ve always realized what
helped me the most long my journey is
putting the heart in the driving seat
because it knows what it’s doing you see
the ego should always be in the
passenger seat telling you and cheering
you on the ego is like a cheerleader go
over there
and the heart is like let me see let me
see if that’s a good idea
and the egos like just do it and the
heart is like okay let’s go over there
and guess what it’s just like if you’ve
seen someone you York you’re attracted
to the ego says– just do it and you do
it the heart is like I want to do it
ego gives you that push right but what
happens when the ego Chuck’s the heart
out of the driving seat and takes over
okay
and this is happened to me a few times
along my journey I’m not perfect I’m not
no saint right you’ve got to be very
careful the ego doesn’t get his hands on
the steering wheel because my oh my you
don’t even know where you’re gonna end
up can I get a hello there you see the
heart is very yielding the ego is all
about control and that means when you
are living more in your ego you are not
in your true authenticity a hundred
percent when you are in your heart space
you are always in your authenticity the
secret is using once again the
encouragement the encouragement from the
ego to fuel your true heart’s desires
okay and the third lesson I learned if
you want to know if your ego is taking
over or not you’ve got to realize that
are you wearing the mask all the time
okay a lot of us we go to work we
actually feel we are the role we play in
society so some people say I’m a
psychologist I’m a counselor who say is
that right I’m a doctor I’m a lawyer no
you’re not okay this is just the role
you’re playing you see what happens when
we think what we do is who we are what
happens when we say I’m Spanish I’m
Russian you now create separation you
see the ego is all about separation
because the ego never sees the bigger
picture only the heart can do that can I
get a Hello don’t ask me where I’m from
I’m a planetarium that means I am all
races combined into one can I get a
hello there so you’ve got to realize
that only the heart can show you the
bigger picture right what happens though
when we’re wearing this mask all the
time we now confuse the mask with who we
actually are that’s why a lot of people
who may be full of themselves so-called
right they now get stuck because they’re
not willing to realize they are so much
more than that
it’s like that song I am NOT my hair
india.arie
all right I am NOT my hair no of course
I’m not my hair because I can shave it
off and I’m still here so you got to be
really careful about
your external appearance and how you
make it define who you really are many
ancient cultures the reason the reasons
why a lot of monks and priests would say
the ego is bad is because the ego was an
illusion separation is an illusion the
only truth is unity oneness can I know
we’re not doing that right now okay so
if we go on to the fourth sign what
helped me was that what we see people
with massive egos we say oh who do they
think they are because we’ve been
programmed to shut up you’re growing up
right you’re in class and you’re doing
some exercise and you say miss I don’t
want to do it anymore and she says
excuse me and you say I don’t want to do
it anymore
I’m not doing it and she says get out of
the class and then the heart tells you
look what you’ve done it’s all about
letting go ego then the ego says well
guess what we got a day off tomorrow now
you can really let go can I get a Hello
there right so the ego can be an ally
you got to know how to use the ego and
when you see a lot of people who were
called troublemakers who are called
renegades models powerful people
powerful men powerful women we see them
as having a big ego because they love
themselves a hundred percent but you
know what happens if you don’t love
yourself a hundred percent a lack of
self-love is the root of all suffering I
always as a psychologist I always tell
people that I’m counseling to love
yourself 100%
why why because it stops anxiety why why
because it stops the oppression it
prevents it it helps you form that
intimate relationship with yourself
okay so you’ve really got to realize
no no let me say that again you want to
be vulnerable that’s better
okay many times if your ego is growing
bigger you are afraid to be vulnerable
okay people that share themselves with
the world we say oh who does that model
think she is who does that guy think he
is saying peace every day or that woman
walking her dog every day you walk your
dog right I see you every day on the
beach who does she think she is but you
see when you say I don’t want to share
when you say I don’t want to share
anything now you’re actually living more
in your ego why because the ego is all
about separation the heart space is all
about sharing okay the most vulnerable
people in the world are the most egoless
let me repeat them the most vulnerable
people in the world are the most ego
less because it takes the egoless state
to put yourself out there in the first
place
because you say I have nothing left to
lose so once again realize if your ego
is growing bigger it’s probably because
you are afraid to be vulnerable air out
your dirty laundry and lastly when you
aren’t happy for other people success
that’s a sure sign your ego is flipping
huge what’s happening right many times
we see someone who is doing good for
themselves and we say oh who do they
think they are you see real friends clap
for you
at your success fake friends keep silent
love their head wishing it was them
instead I love seeing people talk about
becoming your greatest version I’ve been
doing this for a long time I only get
excited when I see women men just share
the message of healthy food and living
great taking care of the animals right
we are not here just to rule over all
life-forms you’ve got to respect the
animals show compassion to the animals I
love that right I’m happy for other
people you see with the ego it is the
reptilian part of our brain it can’t
think too well it just thinks that it’s
being threatened the ego says no only I
can be successful
only I can thrive the heart is just
laughing knowing that there is more than
enough to go around so is the ego good
not 100% is it bad
not a hundred percent you have to use
your ego as fuel to power your true your
true your true heart’s desire and then
just come into nature breathing that
beautiful prana and you have nothing to
worry about
have a beautiful day well here enjoying
ourselves infinite waters diving deep once again stay well stay healthy peace
