“Self-confidence is not the same thing as ego. This is not to say that the two don’t (frequently) dance hand in hand down the street, pushing over old ladies in crosswalks and kicking baby kittens. But they are definitely not the same entity. Ego is thinking you have all the answers. Self-confidence is knowing you don’t have the answers, but being pretty sure that you will be able to find them.” ThinkingTwoSelfHandsAbleAnswersKnowingStreetsBabyEgoSelf ConfidencePushingEntityHand In HandKickingKittenOld LadyBeing Pretty Author:Maggie Stiefvater

“The very desire to seek spiritual enlightenment is in fact nothing but the grasping tendency of the ego itself, and thus the very search for enlightenment prevents it. The 'perfect practice' is therefore not to search for enlightenment but to inquire into the motive for seeking itself. You obviously seek in order to avoid the present, and yet the present alone holds the answer: to seek forever is to miss the point forever. You always already are enlightened Spirit, and therefore to seek Spirit is simply to deny Spirit.” FactsSpiritualSpiritDesireOrderGrowthAnswersPerfectPracticeForeverMissingEgoMindfulnessEnlightenmentSeekingDenyTendenciesMotiveEnlightenedGraspingSpiritual EnlightenmentPerfect Practice Author:Ken Wilber
“If you can't change everything all at once, then at least work on changing something each day. Become aggressive in your battle with the ego. You probably don't need all the things that it wants.

But you will rarely see the whole journey or all the answers at once.” IfsWantNeedsImportantWholeRememberNextChangeAnswersCreativeJourneyExpressionDisciplineBattleEgoStonesImportant ThingsEach DayAggressiveBalancedSerenityRemember WhenCan't ChangeStepping StonesCreative Expression Author:Stuart Wilde
“If you approach a difficult problem without struggle, your ego will at first try to take charge from years of habit. Do the minimum and stand back. Solutions incubate at a deep level, not at the speed demanded by your mind. Take a break and come back the next day. Allow the answers to arise from your center, even if it takes a while. However much you have to retrain yourself in this practice of Least Effort, the ability to come from your center is worth the highest price anyone could pay.” IfsTryingYearsMindFirstsProblemNextDifficultAbilityAnswersLevelsEffortPayBreakPracticeStruggleHabitEgoApproachHighestSolutionsSpeedAriseMinimumNext DayDifficult Problems Author:Deepak Chopra
