18 Forms of Ego That Are Keeping You Broke

By Guest Blogger, Ricky Figueroa

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in life by some unknown force, and no matter how much you try… you’re still stuck? Well, I have. Truth is, the most challenging events in our lives are those inner battles that we fight against our own selves.

I realized the hard way that if I wanted to be successful in all areas of my life… I had to do a deep self-examination, instead of wasting my time on negative actions, negative thinking and the pain of negative results.

Do Excuses Make Life Easier?


By Keith Cook

Why do so many people make excuses about there life and do nothing to change it? Has complaining and blaming changed your life for the better? Do you continue to ask yourself, why am I still in the same dead end job, in the same financial situation, at the same time, every year?

With so many distractions and different point of views on how you should look, think, and act, one could easily become confused. Think about the different sources of ideas that bombard your mind like TV, radio, media, your parents, social conditioning, teachers, and preachers.

The Big Shift

Every aspect of my life has changed over the past dozen years. Way back in early 2000 I recall looking out the window of my corner office at the global advertising conglomerate where I worked. I had recently been promoted to Executive Vice President and received a whopping pay raise. Outside my office sat my beautiful assistant. On the surface, life seemed great, but something was gnawing at me inside, telling me that this was not my path. I listened and asked the Universe to do what was necessary to set me on the right trail for this life. As they say, be careful of what you ask for.

Escaping from the “I’m Stuck Muck”

ESCAPING FROM THE “I’M STUCK MUCK”

WHEN YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE DRAMA

Think of an interaction with another person that didn’t go well. Did you feel powerless or helpless? Did all options feel unattractive? If so, you may have been stuck in one of three roles: the Bad Guy, the Victim, or the Rescuer. Imagine a triangle. In one corner lurks the Bad Guy (the Perpetrator). In another corner cowers the Victim, and in the third, the Rescuer is poised to spring into action. In the middle of the triangle hover Guilt and Blame. Now notice how you felt and what mind chatter you were listening to. Whoa, don’t bolt! Keep noticing. Noticing gives you distance which gives you power to get out of the drama triangle that has so captured your attention.

Messages from Within

As I am waiting for my nails to dry at the local nail salon, I peruse the magazines to see the latest covers and headlines, the August (2011) issue of The Oprah Magazine, main story is, “Let Your Intuition be your Guide”, I am instantly pulled in and want to devour every word! My nails are wet so I must wait, but it is all I can think about as I run into my local bookstore to get my hands on a copy. I have been an intuitive all of my life, yet to see it on the cover of Oprah’s magazine that millions read religiously is like winning the lottery! Throughout my years studying, coaching, teaching and writing about intuition, it feels like the day has finally come where people are realizing we all have it, some are simply more attuned.

Making Wishes Come True

I love Amazon’s wish list concept: I’m always placing books on my wish list that look good but that I’m just not ready to commit to buying yet. It’s usually because I’m not sure if the book is exactly what I’m looking for. If I took a few extra minutes to decide what I want in a book my wish list would be empty and my bookshelf would be full (well, fuller).

I spent many years (most of my adult life) without living my life passion. But over the last few years, I’ve found it and I’m living it.

I can say without a doubt that finding and living your life passion makes a huge difference in your quality of life. I’m sure if you survey other people who are living their life passions, you will hear the same thing.

  • I wake up excited about what the day will bring.
  • I love the work I’m doing.
  • I have a sense of purpose.
