I don’t do anything I don’t want to.

Your true self is the observer, observing your thought processes, words, and actions. That’s not your ego/personality. It’s healthy to separate your true observing self from your personality because once you start believing you ARE your personality, it’s kind of an unhealthy attachment? it’s healthy to remember you’re just observing how your mind intakes the things you experience in life. Helps you take life less seriously and become less stressed the more you remind yourself you are simply observing life unfolding. You are the universe experiencing itself basically. Every living thing has its own perception and personality (ego), but at the same time every living thing at the core is JUST the observer.

This is a treasure and the speaker is amazing.

Being humble is the realization that you aren’t more significant or better than others. It’s the awareness that you are equally important to everyone else. It means you have personal boundaries in place, so no one takes advantage of you, but you acknowledge the differences that make each person authentic. And it’s the knowledge that every person is equally valuable and that your value is neither greater nor lesser than anyone else's.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to watch this talk and comment. I have never found Doug. I have been told that often, people who are deemed to live on the edge of society move back home if they can connect with family again. I hope and wish for that to be true. I hope, if nothing else, my talk has moved you to connect with ALL people more. I know that in my life, I have tried to connect with people who I thought would give me something because they had so much. Most times, I was disappointed. Yet, the times I connected with those who had less, they seemed willing to give everything.

This is my understanding from some small amount of work with people in these communities. Homelessness and risk of homelessness is a spectrum. You've got everything from long term involuntary homelessness, typically young men who can't get social housing and won't meet the rules of shelters (drugs, crime etc), to a certain population who choose to live outside the system, I.e they don't apply for or receive centrelink, refuse public housing and so on, these are usually older men. In the middle are family's who justly get priority for social housing, and younger singles who are disenfranchised, who may go between the street and social housing, shelters, or refuges.

I found out that the solution to the ego isn't trying to get in our heads and fix the problem. When you tell people "Be more confident!" "Fix your ego problems!" they continue going inside their head. The solution is just being active, vulnerable and being very honest with yourself. I had a very difficult childhood. I was bullied, emotionally abused by my brother, neglected by my parents and effects of these continued to create more destruction in my social life. My high school social life was terrible because I was the quite kid with issues. I couldn't connect with other kids, I even could have a girlfriend but I didn't go for it because I hated myself.

So I stumbled over the word "ego" a lot in the form of "let go of your ego", "healthy vs unhealthy ego", "the ego is important to function as an individual", etc. A lot of people here seem to get that there is an ego and that it can be unhelpful and give us unsatisfying emotions, thoughts or drag us in our growth. It seems all agreed that it is good to overcome your ego (temporarily) if it is not helpful in the moment.

Humility is more USEFUL than arrogance. Just like skepticism is more useful than blind faith. It allows you make calculated and accurate decisions with the amount of information you have. And it keeps you from ignoring important variables, because you accept the fact that you might be wrong, you are able to make decisions with an eye to angles you might not have seen if you were being closed minded.

It's true that discovering your purpose can leave you in a vulnerable state. When you are exploring your deepest desires and passions, it can feel like you are exposing a part of yourself that you've kept hidden for a long time. But vulnerability can also be a source of strength and resilience. When you are willing to be vulnerable, you open yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities that you may have never considered before. And ultimately, this vulnerability can lead you to discover your true purpose and live a more fulfilling life.

Walked out one morning in search of valour I saw a moviestar humbing around blatantly in a starshaped manner, occupied by his own steps. I quickly turned and found a soldier blinded by a just cause grown sour. I frowned and saw an athlete curled up and tense to achieve the love of his long lost father. I walked on and met a business man smiling without joy and speaking without heart. Almost giving up I sat down now seeing a man with scars and a face that defied the firm despair of time. I was reached by a smile and offered my hand, cause in my search of valour I found the homeless man.

This reminds of what I learned in my sociology class, the self concept. We learn about ourselves by what we think how others might see us. Then we apply those thoughts to ourselves even though they might not be true. We create a self image and that drives ego.
