Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them.
Dance on the edge of mystery.
If you have to have it, it's ego. If you have to not have it, it's ego. Hold life lightly and it will deliver what you need and release what you don't.
Kindness to self will put you in the perfect attitude and position to be kind to others.
Money is but one venue for generosity. Kindness is an even more valuable currency.
Life does not require you to sacrifice or compromise your joy to get what you want. Joy is what you want, so when you choose in harmony with it, you are fulfilling your purpose in living.
