Ego vs True Self

The ego despises our inner Wisdom, which knows that when we change our thoughts, we change our lives. The ego fears change because it thrives on control. Changing ourselves for the better may lead to a move, a new job, a new partner, or a new community. But yes, the change has to first come from within- a denial of the fear that ego propagates. Only then do we know what outer things will align with our True Self.
