THE EGO

“Every habit begins with pain and end with pain. Whatever the substance you are addicted to: alcohol, food, legal or illegal drugs, or a person you are using something or somebody to cover up your pain”. Eckhart Tolle

 
Most of the time you hide your feelings by creating bad habits, those are ego’s treatment to protect your pains. They can be pain of: fear, incompleteness, and low self-esteem. To cover up your emotional ego’s needs you keep acquiring new addictions and dependencies. Soon or later it will come to the surface as a shadow, bringing you pain and inconsistency.


That is the reason why you feel incompetent to make choices and prefer to live, think, act and make decisions concerning with the past, instead of facing your present. The past is a trail that can be dissolved as soon as you desire to.  Living and focusing in this NOW can bring you to better feeling, emotions, and circumstances. As any other addiction, changing your habits can be the best decision to transform and make a shift in your life.
