I’m most happy when I create from my soul. Even happier when someone else connects with what I’ve created but I can’t think about that possibility while creating or it becomes a sort of egoic creation.
The best way to explain the difference is that my ego loves to be in the spotlight especially if it means sharing something I’ve created in the process while my soul doesn’t like talking to strangers and quickly looks away from every pair of eyes on her when in public.
I really adore both sides of myself and I enjoy balancing them in the healthiest way possible. However, it’s come to my attention that due to the nature of my soul being an introvert while my ego is extroverted, I haven’t really seen my soul in the way that I’ve existed with my ego.
You know when a parent thinks they have a needy child and a child that doesn’t need anything but in truth the child that “doesn’t need anything” simply learned that it’s easier on the parent if they pretend they don’t need the same things that the “needy” child does? I’m the parent, my ego is “needy”, and my soul “doesn’t need anything”.
I’m working on that and putting in effort to listen to my soul more. After all, a family is only happy when everyone is properly considered.
