Category: Ego
I have been talking much about healers and priests and psychics and Gurus. And with all these people I feel that they have the urgent wish to be special. A great desire to have something that nobody else has.
Everyone knows the stories of superman and other heroes with great abilities that save the world. In every movie that you watch and every book that you read there will be one hero who is special. If it is an action movie, fantasy, a tragedy or even a romance a book or a movie needs these characters which have great powers, great feelings or great looks. Someone who makes the book worth reading because you hope that the hero turns up and saves everybody, that the perfect man comes and makes the woman’s life complete or that the tough woman walks in and shows to everyone how independent women can be.
Only with this a story keeps the reader’s attention. And I feel that people who tell that they have extraordinary abilities have the wish to be exactly this one character. They think in their life’s story, they have to be in this role. They don’t want to have the side role of just the normal person with good and bad feelings. Or, if they admit to be having bad feelings, then there is another reason for it, for example their extreme vulnerability which cannot be compared to anyone else.
You see, always something bigger, better, deeper, more extreme. Let me tell you one thing: no matter who you are and what you are doing, in the movie of your life you will always have the main role, you will be the hero. So please stop trying to be someone who you are not, leave the ego of wanting to be different and better than others, just be yourself! You are not greater or worse, higher or lower than anybody else. god made you perfectly fine, just as you are.

In my opinion, the greatest heroes are those people, who never try to be better than others and those who even don't know the word "self-assertion". A hero has a pure heart and personality, he doesn't need to show other people how special he is. And exactly that modesty makes him that admirable.

I love this idea! When you are your own hero, you never really rely on anyone else to save the day. You know you can count on yourself and have an endless supply of love for yourself. One thing I have been working on for myself on this journey is being my own best friend. Sometimes it seems like no one else can really understand you or you feel lonely at times. Well who better to comfort you than your own soul! I have been enjoying time spent with myself exploring all that I am... and I am my own hero! Yay!

I agree Cherry and I think it works the same way when you see something beautiful in someone else. Or perhaps it is someone that many people see as an amazing person. It is easy, for whatever reason,to see the God in them. Maybe they are very close to god. And I think it is helpful to realize that this is also in you and you can bring it forth. This is why love is for everyone; because everyone has this profound love inside of them.

Some people sense or feel that there is something very special about them, that they are somehow remarkable. This is because they are. They are sensing the god in them. Everyone has god in them.

Do what you feel is right. That will make you happy.
SourceThe thought of independence and freedom made people lonely.
SourceOur stress is created by thinking with ego: I have to do this, I have to be good in that and I should be perfect in another thing. Actually it would be good if I was perfect in everything! Of course this creates stress! We put such high demand on ourselves and on what we should be able to do and to achieve.
SourceAt some point everybody needs to take his own responsibility and act according to what makes him happy. If you tried to make everyone around you happy, you would never succeed but forget your own fun and joy! You should never make the happiness of others more important than your own happiness, otherwise you will make yourself unhappy – and won’t be able to help others!
SourceBreaking with someone causes pain, hurts and makes people feel bad. If there is any way to avoid it, please do.
SourceJeans for your daughter but a sari for your daughter-in-law - Indian double standards!
SourceYou belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.
SourceDon’t be overprotective. Lack of self-esteem, indecision and also problems with getting into company of others are the consequences. Don’t overprotect, give freedom and let them make their experiences. They will shape the world of tomorrow, so don’t try to press them into your world. Let them free.
SourceDoes a mother need a rosary to remember her child? Does a wife need to sit in a certain pose or condition to think of her husband? If love is there, you don’t need to do any effort for meditation, it takes place itself. You won’t find God, who is love, with rituals, ceremonies and donations but with love.
SourceOnly a rapist mentality blames rape victims for their clothing and behaviour!
SourceUnconditional trust and unconditional respect are the fertile earth on which love grows and gets strong. Doubts destroy this base. If there are doubts, there is no trust and love cannot grow.
SourceIf your pain is chronic and incurable, accept it and accept it with love.
SourceSiddhis are not real. Don't be afraid, nobody can do anything to you!
SourceIllusion only exists with the limitations of this earth. Once the soul is liberated and free of the body and this material world, rich or poor, high or low does not matter anymore.
SourceOnce you have lit the fire of love, you need fuel to keep it alive. Trust is the fuel for love.
SourceYou have everything that you need now! You have every reason to be happy! Be happy and love your life!
SourceIf you want to follow a Guru, a master, a sect leader or any kind of belief, don’t have your children affected, too! Give your children the possibility to decide themselves. Show them the normal world, let them develop properly with the full capacity of their mind to be critical, to think about everything themselves and with full emotional abilities, too! Give your child the freedom and the possibility of a healthy, normal lifestyle.
SourceBe careful when a guru suggests to charge your mobile phone in front of his picture!
SourceYou are not done once you have felt you found yourself. This is you today but who will you be tomorrow?
SourceWhatever you are jealous about, do not fight the feeling, it will only make it worse.
