Ego Takes Offense





"Restriction generates yearning.
You want what you cannot have."
Portia de Rossi

The ego tends to take offense when it is confined.  It becomes very creative to succeed at removing or stretching barriers.  Our imagination can make up excuses as to why the restriction does not apply to us personally or totally reword the limitation to make it work for us not against us.

We are living in difficult times that are directly impacting our way of life.  Usually when devastation occurs, it happens in a different land, state, or city.  Today's circumstances are very personal sitting on our own doorstep.

Instead of yearning for what we don't have, we can canvass what is before us.  Ideal situations may not be present, but what is the light in the midst of the darkness.  Is it one on one times with a mate; getting to know immediate family on a new level; or surveying how far we have wandered from our personal goals?  The only thing we can change about today is how we use the 24 hours. We can brood impacting our health or we can generate kindness to lift our hopes and dreams.
