The ego will just take anything over
People, when they’re happy, they actually feel guilty sometimes.
When we’re happy, the ego can actually take that over too:
Oh, I’m the happiest person in the world,
I’m happier than you are.
The ego will just take anything over and
the way it takes it over is through the identity
that is thinking and believing its thoughts.
You know, I talk about seeking love, approval and appreciation
and invite people to find a time when he or she hasn’t.
Find a moment in your life when you were NOT seeking love, approval and appreciation
in the company of other people.
– Byron Katie
