Ego - Try to realize you are nothing

This topic might sound rude, but I sincerely hope the reader appreciates the intent.

Ego is the source of a majority of stress in your life. You need to make a sincere attempt to conquer it. Let us look at it from a universe point of view. The solar system is a spec in the universe. Within the solar system, how big is the earth and on this earth how big are you in comparison to the solar system which is a spec. In other words, you do not have anything that justifies an ego.

You also need to realize that all your accomplishments are primarily due to god's grace and god can take it away in a matter of seconds. You are just lucky that you have whatever you have.

The moment you realize this, maintaining, pampering and encouraging a huge ego looks very silly.

The primary result of having a strong ego is – you will end up hurting people who play a key role in your life. People will start distancing away from you and pretty soon you will realize that you are lonely.

So, long story short, take a chill pill, do not think too high of yourself, come to ground level and live happily!
