Ego Quotes

Ego Quotes will help you know your false self. There is you, and there is your ego, or false self. The ego is the one that finds insult where none was meant, that finds problems out of nothing, and craves self-importance when you already know you are good.

EGO QUOTES

To consider yourself superior to others because of what you have and do is to be owned by things that one day will find you no longer worthy of them.

All things and situations are temporary, whether labeled by the ego as good or bad. For this reason, "bad" things should not seem so serious and "good" things should be all the more appreciated.

The ego is the false self, the one who thinks that events, circumstances, other people's opinions, things that happen in "your life", even your body, are actually you, when you are really the awareness or spirit who observes your body as it experiences these things.

The ego believes itself and what it wants and doesn't want to be of utmost importance, and believes anything else is not important.

The egoic entity tries to convince you that you ARE everything that happens to you. It wants you to internalize events and circumstances, to become these things so that it may bask in the self-importance of denial, of being victimized, of being against, and of always being right.

When a person achieves a previously desired goal, rather than basking in the happiness and fulfillment of the moment, the ego makes them second guesses themselves, wondering if they just got lucky, or if the accomplishment was too easy. Rather than enjoy the moment, the person continues searching for that magical situation that will finally give them fulfillment or happiness, not knowing that the ego will continue to rob them of those feelings every time by not letting it be good enough or big enough and always promising it will be better next time. This search for fulfillment becomes never ending and never results in fulfillment or happiness as long as the ego is in control.

Through acting as an interested observer who is watching you navigate through life, you can in a spiritual sense, detach from the things that happen in the physical world, and not internalize, or become them, while at the same time responding to the world around you as it is, without allowing negativity or drama to enter in.

Without the freak-show that egoic thinking perpetuates, you will experience peace of mind that most people don't know exists.

To drop the ego is to end your mental suffering while on this planet, and for most people is beyond the realm of comprehension, because their ego has convinced them that it IS them.

When you attach yourself, your very identity to "things" and "wants", you have allowed egoic thinking to make you believe you are these things and wants. When the things and wants go bad, or don't go as desired, your ego-self will be diminished, and you will suffer mental negativity--fear, disappointment, loss, all things that are only ego-made ideas.

By practicing profound humility, you will reinforce the knowledge that your self-esteem is intact, that you know you are good no matter what happens, and that the bad and even the good opinions of other people cannot diminish or inflate you.

Through ego quotes, you'll begin to recognize when your ego has surfaced. How will you know? You will be afraid of what might happen; you will be easily offended; you will be disappointed by hopes that don't materialize; you will be outraged or insensed; you will deny things that are true; you will become too attached to everything. When you realize that it's your ego coming through, that will be the beginning of its end.

When you find that your ego has taken over your existence, no matter what situation or disappointment or negativity is in control, stop the cycle by saying mentally "It ain't me". "It" is the situation or lack of, or the wan't or the resistence to what is. "Me" is you the soul, the conciousness, the awareness.

When you say this, you recognize that the ego is attempting to make the situation or negative so important, that you feel you are the situation, and will be diminished if it does not go your way. By reaffirming that no matter what happens you will still be you, you take away stress and negativity and diminish the ego, which is what you want.

More than anything I have ever read, the following book has shown me how to recognize my own ego and through denying it the self-importance that it craves, enjoy more peace of mind and happiness than I knew possible.

The book is not a quick read, and may take several read-throughs before you understand it...but when you start to catch glimpses of your non-egoic self, you will not want to put it down.

Come back to ego quotes often, and you will slowly get rid of that false self that wants you to be in a state of termoil.

Ego quotes might help them realize the difference between their ego and who they really are.

When you are feeling any negativity at all, it is most likely your ego coming through. Recently I allowed a comment from a colleague to shape a three day period into an egoic festival of self-doubt, low self esteem, and all the associated baggage that goes with them. I came to the ego quotes page and realized I was a victim of my own ego. I had allowed the opinion of someone I don't even like to diminish me. I had become, via my ego, the negative opinion this person held of me. Rather than affirm to myself my virtues and qualities and the fact that this person could not have the slightest inkling of who I am, my ego told me to agree with his shallow, ego-driven opinion. I have much to learn.

I will from now on return to this ego quotes page when I am feeling negative. I feel better already.
