How worthless and unhappy you are, etc. This is the voice of the ego and nothing more

Awakening and the Great Fall Something beautiful and profound happened to me this year. In the early months of 2011, a challenge in my personal life caused a shift in my inner state of being. Complete self-acceptance and realizing the truth about this situation pushed me over the edge into sheer bliss. I awakened.   A life that we live predominantly in our heads—completely lost in thought. Most of us are unaware of this, but our minds are compulsively active. Thinking about things that make us feel a sense of disharmony, dissatisfaction, and generalized unhappiness.
After the Fall, one must simply continue . The voice that complains,
tells you how worthless and unhappy you are, etc. This is the voice of
the ego and nothing more. At present, there are very few people on the
planet who do not suffer from this terrible affliction in one form or another
you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for  being at any
given moment. That means now. Ask yourself, ‘Is there negativity in me
at this moment?’ Then, become alert, attentive to your thoughts as well
as your emotions.
Taking responsibility for your being is your
primary purpose in life. This can be an incredibly liberating realization
and at the same time a daunting one because it means that you can no
longer blame anyone else for your unhappiness. Your happiness, as it
turns out, is entirely up to you.
