I will preface this by saying that I am not egotistical, I know that I am no better or worse than anyone, we are all the same and just trying to find our way home. There is a vast difference between having a healthy self esteem and being egotistical and thinking your poop doesn't stink. On the other hand we hear so much today from therapists, counselors, life coaches and the like who refer to our ego as the "monkey mind" that just chatters at us constantly.
That said, I listen to my "chatter" and it is nearly always positive which made me wonder what it means if this is the case, that it is our "ego", and mine is kind. It is almost always uplifting and cheering me on, making me believe that anything is possible for me. And as I observe this pattern, for me personally, I don't really care what anyone, counselors, coaches, whoever, would think of me but I am curious what they would make of it.
Whereas many are filled with self doubt, I am filled with belief, or whatever the opposite of doubt is. Okay, I took the time to stop and look it up and I was correct in saying doubt. Doubt is disbelief or uncertainty and I lack that most of the time. I believe in me and the universal power within me. So did my "ego" just fall in line?
I believe in myself so much that others believe in me, too. I am not perfect, no, but I do believe that I can do all things, should I desire to do them. In reality, however, with this small busted vessel of a body I dwell in, many times my spirit and mind make promises that my body cannot keep. At least in this particular physical world. I think that is what my dreams are for, to allow me to do things that I cannot during waking hours. And yet again I digress...
Because the same little chatter voice that tells me positive things is also the same one who said the "what does it mean" statement. Things to ponder my friends, things to ponder. So riddle me this Batman:
What does it mean if that little voice that always chatters in your head says nothing but positive things?
