You should follow your heart, not your ego.
Your ego WANTS and your heart NEEDS.
Pretty simple, right?
Alexander Mils
Were confusing AF, and most of the time its difficult to know the difference.
Do Ineedthat 6th slice of pizza?
Do Ineedto fire off that 3 a.m. u up text?
Do Ineedto do this, do that?
Its tough to tell, and thats how we get in trouble in our lives.
We think were listening to our hearts, but were actually listening to our egos.
Whether you realize it, in that instance, you basically told your ego to fuck off.
Do you remember a moment like that?
That moment where you called off a serious relationship that you knew wasnt right for you?
That moment where you finally stood up for yourself to your parents?
That moment where you left your comfortable job for something that actually inspired you?
Your egotold you that you would never be able to be single or start over again.
But in that moment, you finally let your heart do the talking.
And your heart told you a different story.
Your heart reminded you that life is ready to give you more.
It reminded you to step up and let go of your ego.
Let go of your desire to be in control, to know exactly whats next.
Youre meant to see sunsets in as many different cities as you want.
Youre meant to start over as many times as necessary.
Youre meant to live and discover and rediscover.
So be soft with me for a moment.
Why are you in that relationship?
Is it to have a hottie at your side so you feel good about yourself?
Is it so you dont feel like a loser on a Friday night?
Why are you chasing that job?
Why are you working 90 hours a week hating everything just for a six figure paycheck?
Why are your ambitions your ambitions?
Are they from your heart or your ego?
Why are those your ambitions?
Are you one of those people who says success is the best revenge?
Are you one of those people who says I have a bunch of motherfuckers to prove wrong?
Thats your ego talking.
Youre doing things, setting goals, and becoming a person born of ego.
Youre living a life with desires and ambitions that arent really your own.
So stop and ask why.
Your heart wants you to STEP UP and question why!
Am I doing whats best for me?
Is this what I need or what I want?
Push yourself to learn to know the difference and watch how your life dramatically changes for the better.
