Bloomin' Ego

Wow it seems my ego blooms several times a year! The only thing that seems to get mine in check is a good humility call.

Just wondering...does any of this grow in your garden?

~Complaining and reactivity are favorite mind patterns through which the ego strengthens itself. For many people, a large part of their mental-emotional activity consists of complaining and reacting against this or that. By doing this, you make others or a situation "WRONG" and yourself "RIGHT". Through being "right" you feel SUPERIOR, you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.~ Eckhart Tolle

Wow what a Bloomin' Mind Trap...
