“A recent meme someone shared ended with this ‘Fancy offices, hot cars, lots of staff and huge overhead are signs of big egos, not big success.’ Cars, boats, jets, jewelry, homes, clothes, shoes and handbags, are signs of spending. Why does one feel the need to have these? There’s nothing wrong with the items themselves. They’re fine. Anyone can have them AND they can be a trap.

They’re signs of ego. Don’t chase things to be fulfilled. Many people get many things, sacrifice everything to get them, only to discover they aren’t fulfilled by those things. It’s truly sad to know someone who has everything and is happy with none of it. Gurus tell you work extra hard, take massive action so you can have these things and then someday you’ll be someone important.

They are wrong. They lie. Stop following nonsense. Take that encouragement as a warning. They’re trying to get you to do something that won’t fulfill you. Instead, become a better, wiser, more loving, compassionate person of service. Become smarter, more caring and peaceful. First become the person you want to be. Be it. Then you’ll do the right things to have what you want. Get this.

Learn To Create The Life You Want And Deserve

Be it first and the right things fall into place. Everything falls into place when you first ARE it. Things don’t change you. Many people hope they will and sadly find out they were wrong. Transform yourself by the renewing of your mind, first! Then you’ll add value to others, create relationships and positive experiences that will be meaningful to you. You’ll have a life worth living. You’ll be fulfilled.

Things pale by comparison. They’ll make you feel good momentarily. Be it to do it to have it. IT IS NOT what most gurus promote. WHY is that. Because they think you need them to get the things and when that doesn’t work, you’ll need them to fix you. That’s why they want you to do everything you can thinking you’ll get what you want and that somehow makes you more important. Get it?

You don’t need ego signs if you’re living well and right. You can have them or not. Yes, enjoy good things but don’t depend on them to make you feel better or more worthwhile. WHO you are determines what you say and do. Who you are determines the results you get. Who you are, the company you keep, the experiences you create and remember are more important than things.

Don’t chase signs of the ego. Seek to be transformed and fulfilled. Then you can have it all. It won’t contribute to your importance because you’ll know you’re important with or without it. Get this? When you do, you’ll truly understand the importance of celebrating everything. And you’ll celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
