the beautiful ego

I had a thought.

Have you noticed that when you leave your happiness up to other people you usually feel let down?

You know, when you expect other people to fulfill you or make you happy or tell you what you want?

Ever notice how bad that usually turns out?

I had caught myself doing that lately, and I had really become sick of doing that all the time.

So decided to express myself more, become more self-controlled, more self motivating, and I noticed a dramatic change when I started doing this.

Its like the world responded to my wants and desires more. Things started to happen more easily.

Its almost like if on some subliminal level, the world started to listen and take me more seriously.

I thought to myself, hmm its almost like I’m the Alpha male, isn’t it? It almost feels like I’m the Alpha male, and leading the group mind so to speak.

Its like I started to tell people how I wanted to be treated, and it started feeling good.

I’ve found it almost always works out better, for some odd reason, for all involved.

Its like if you take control of the situation, clearly state your wants and needs, you’ll have a much easier time getting them met, and meeting other people’s needs and wants as well.

I started to notice this in all areas of my life, in my personal relationships, in business, even with my friends.

And I’ll tell you why.

The people in our lives make terrible masters.

Its just awful you don’t want people to be your master (not that they really are, though).

People just like the Universe, are there to respond to your desires, to reply, to create with you.

That’s their job.

And most of the time we are creating by default, or having other people create for us (which is even worse)! We never get anywhere positive like that.

Now, you’re probably thinking, like I did, if I take control, people won’t like me as much, or people will think I’m pushy or overbearing.

Luckily, it doesn’t work out that way,

Granted, you definitely become more powerful, but honestly most people respond in a positive way.

Its almost like when you empower yourself, it lifts everyone else up around you.

When you present yourself, openly and honestly, to other people, and communicate well, they want to become more open, and honest with you? Right?

I think its because naturally we want to help others and live harmoniously, but also because we like people who know what they want.

Its like we as people have an easier time giving to people when they know what they want.

Makes sense right?

Its the same with the Universe.

The Universe is happy when we know what we want. Why? Because it knows what to give us!

Trust me, its a totally win win situation for everyone everywhere if you are expressing yourself in joy and creating and being the master of your life.

You can contribute more, you can create more, you just have more to give.

So why don’t you try to be the Alpha in your life?

Be the leader, express yourself.

If you do it joyfully most likely you won’t step on anyone’s toes.

I’ve found it to be the opposite. I’ve found that the universe opens itself up to you.

And people will too
