Less baggage, easier travels

If your ego wants you to do something, don't do it. If you soul wants you to do something, go for it!

So, how does one know if its ego, or if its soul that is guiding you? That is a topic for a whole book, but I'll do my best in this brief blog to give you some understanding.

Your ego functions in the gimme, me-me-me, spotlight on me mentality.
Your soul functions in the, is what I doing in service of others mentality.

If your want puffs you up and makes you feel like you are better than others, that is ego.
If your want makes you feel like you are at peace with yourself and others, that is soul.

An ego roars inside your mind drowning out your soul's whisper.
A soul is that niggly feeling you get sometimes that wants you to pause.

I could go on and on, but to keep this simplified, if you hear noise in your mind, you need to pause and learn to calm the roar (ego) to be able to hear the whisper of your soul. If you have tamed the roar (ego) and you are aware that you can control the roar, keep going, your journey will require less baggage as you go! <3
