Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 238 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
The question was asked once, “How do you fight evil?” The character, the evil, the self-pride. The self-admiration, how do you break that.
There are two ways. First is to fight it head-on and to contemplate the advantages, or disadvantages, of following through.
The second way, however, is to “elevate yourself”.
Let me illustrate with a story I once heard.
The wind and the sun once debated which one was stronger. The wind decided to show its strength, pointing at a person standing down below. It said, “Watch and see how I can blow this person’s clothes off of his body.”
Suddenly, the wind started blowing strongly. The man, feeling the powerful gust, buttoned his shirt and coat tight. The wind responded by blowing even more ferociously. The man then countered by tightening his belt and the wind had no choice but the give up.
When the sun’s turn to demonstrate his abilities came time, the sun shined its rays. As the temperature began to warm up, the person loosened his belt, unbuttoned his coat, and finally removed it entirely.
As long as the person is action with the framework of his “own self”, he will be unable to leave his ego. Attempting to wage war against his ego can actively make it even more difficult, challenging or make it worse.
When the light of kindness, goodness, and reason shine within the person suddenly the trivialities disappear by themselves. By trying to get rid of your ego, don’t fight it. This is the way that results can be reached. If you want to control your ego and want to be better than you were before, and become a person of goodness and kindness, accepting them this is the way to do it. Not like the wind but like the sun, with warmth.
Now let’s go and get it done.
