The secret of your Ego!

Opening up yourself to a cold world isn't easy. People like to use your negatives and struggles as self improvement tactics. Its like hearing another persons' problems make them feel better. Ain't that some shit! This world is so bad that people need to degrade others to make them feel better. But, this is BE YOUR OWN DAD and we're turning those negatives into positives. My latest read "The Power Of Now" by Eckhart Tolle has taught me the power of the ego. We all have a ego and we are constantly feeding it everyday. Whether its buying material things to impress others or making up stories to appeal as if there something better than they are.

If you let go of your ego you become bullet proof when it comes to negativity. For example, when your with your friends or people in general and someone tries to joke on you, let the joke go. Don't give a response to it. Don't laugh. Don't try coming back with another joke. Just let the joke pass by. If you don't show a response to it aka if you don't let your ego feel offended by it the joke has NO power! The ego is so powerful within us that we don't want to feel degraded. The ego has us so caught up that when someone tries to rash us we feel some certain way to defend our ego. We can't just let things slide. I'm telling you next time a person tries to joke on you just let it go.....watch how your attitude will be after. You will feel like you just found a $100 dollar bill.

In my latest webisode "J Vs. MR. BYOD" I try to share the side of two stories. J is a young brother caught up in the drug game. He doesn't have much hope for the future. MR. BYOD is another young brother who attempts to help spark a fire into J. He knows J is capable of great things because he has motivation to wake up early to serve his clients. We all need to encourage each and everyone to chase what they believe in. If we don't chase our dreams we can't change the world. Just think if Steve Jobs didn't chase his dream I wouldn't be able to type this blog.

"You know that it's the ego, That's constantly polluting my consciousness, So ingrained in my brain that I can barely even acknowledge it"-Macklemore
