Is it ego seeking to be served by Life or Self seeking to serve Life?
Me
That is the question we need to ask every moment we encounter an opportunity to do something. When we are being asked, "Can you do this?", or when we ask ourselves, "Should I do that?" or "What should I do next?", let's reflect on whether we are operating from egoes wanting to be served or the Self seeking to serve.
We spend so much of our earthly time saying yes to what will serve our egos, catering to our likes and dislikes and what makes us feel better inside, while we say "no"to situations that we dislike or that make us feel uncomfortable inside. We too often are operatig from ego, looking out at life thinking it is there to serve us and make us feel comfortable. With that mentally service is very conditional. "As long as it makes me feel good in one way or another, I will do it." When ego gets fed by the service we provided, we feel great and when it doesn't we feel bad and say we are not going to do that again.
Hmm! If we realized we were the Self here to serve Life...both service and Life would take on a different glow, wouldn't it?
All is well
