Your ego screams to be right.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">It will trick you whenever it can.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">The light of truth pierces all deception and illusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Ultimately, being right will not satisfy you.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">Being right is based on the ego.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">The ego is a win\/loss game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Unconditional love, kindness, compassion and truth reveal the ego for what it is.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">When you feel with your heart and listen with your intuition your find the truth.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">The ego and mind do not operate on this frequency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">At times I am amazed by human beings and their need to be right, to see life the way they want it to be regardless of how painful the consequences are because of their bias, ego and delusion.\u00a0 They would rather hurt themselves and others to be right.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080\">\u00a0 They use power, control and manipulation to force people and things to be the way they think they should be.\u00a0 They damage themselves and the people around them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">If you look and observe, you can see this pattern and behavior.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">When you seek the truth and see clearly, life is amazing.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">Regardless of the lies and stories, no matter how well told, you will see through them and discover the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Another interesting observation is that when you share the truth with someone who does not want to see it, they will do everything in their power to fog you and attempt to confuse you.\u00a0 They will do anything to make you doubt yourself so that they can maintain their reality even though it is false.\u00a0 Even to the extent that it hurts themselves.\u00a0 People are very interesting creatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Recently, I have seen people be mean and hurtful because they want to be right, because they would rather believe the foolishness of their own minds and ego than face the truth.\u00a0 You see when you face the truth, you also are responsible for your life and actions.\u00a0 The ego cannot hide when truth is present.\u00a0 So when someone&#8217;s pride or ego is strong, they will do whatever they have can to create a smoke screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">According to the ego, if someone is right, someone also has to be wrong.\u00a0 The ego plays the blame game.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080\">\u00a0 Love and truth simply is.\u00a0 There is no wrong or right.\u00a0 There is only pure acknowledgement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Another interesting behavior is when someone says what they know is the right thing to say or what they think they should say, even though it is not their truth.\u00a0 No matter how good the words are, they do not ring true because the person&#8217;s energy is not congruent with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Life is an interesting game of hide and go seek.\u00a0 When you seek and discover truth it becomes miraculous.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080\">\u00a0 It takes true courage and faith.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u201cThose who know the truth,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> Learn to love it,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> Those who love the truth,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> Learn to live it.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\"><br \/>\nsmiles,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\">\ud83d\ude42 Lee<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080\"><em>The Mega Coach<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/haveamagnificentday\/files\/2012\/02\/Inner-Vision1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3249\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/85\/2012\/02\/Inner-Vision1-300x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If some aspect of your life is not working, then seek to discover where you are not being honest with yourself.\u00a0 Your perspective can be biased to see what you want to see.
