“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.”
~ Deepak Chopra ~
This is such a beautiful reminder of the importance of being mindful. I don't know about you, but I think it can be easy to go through the day as if you're on autopilot.
I like this quote because it reminds me that I need to "make a decision" about what to do when my ego wants to take over. I have found that when I start my day with prayer and meditation, I usually have a pretty good day. When I stray away from this practice, I can get caught up in a lot of "stuff" I usually try to stay away from. And the longer I stay away from this practice, the more weighed down I feel.
Thanks, Deepak, for my marching orders today!
