Pretty much.

I think it's easy to fall into that trap, though.

Free me from the bondage of self's been a bit of a mantra lately.

Hi Kev,

I'm working on that too and it's not easy.

Have you read "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle? He talks a lot about getting out the way of your ego.

The worst place to be is in my own head thinking about my supposed woes. Focus outwards for peace of mind.

My therapist has been wanting me to read this book for months. It's just sitting on my bookshelves, uncracked. Not much of a reader. I need to change that.
