Ego Obsolete

i am not my past. 

change is terrifying

to untamed minds. 

i am not my trauma.

ego promotes procrastination 

stops me from starting new projects.

i am not this fear.

ego protects me from failure

while hindering possibilities of success

i am not this thought. 

ego is darkness,

outdated fight-or-flight mechanism.

ego is expert

at constructing resistances

ego accumulates rationalizations:

why i am unloved, unaccepted, unhappy.

i am not this guilt.

dissatisfaction, mind’s internal dialogue,

is not the subject of its complaints.

i am not this doubt.

 

releasing attachment to shadow identities,

is freedom to be me

discomfort is

a doorway to freedom. 

i am not this story.

i am brave,

i am courageous

obstacles and challenges are temporary.

moments of realignment always working out in my favor.

i accept change

as the normal state-of-being.

i choose to replace judgment

with compassion.
