Greetings fellow earthlings!

I hope you are enjoying your time here on the forum today.

In this article I’m going to point out some of the ego’s most common (and cunning) thought traps, so that you can become aware of them in your own life, in your own mind.

Top marks for all of them, with one disagreement, and it's not with the general rule (#2), just this part.

In the end, there is only one way to measure your life. And that is this: are you doing your best? At the end of each day, look back and ask, “Did I give my all today? Did I do everything I could to accomplish my goals, and to be the kind of person I want to be?”


If the answer is yes, then congratulations! You win. No one can ask any more, or do any better than that.

Am I doing my best? Did I give my all today? Give me a break. If you judge yourself by this kind of standard you have just substituted one taskmaster (other people) for another (yourself). You're never going to live up to that standard. Ooooh I don't think I gave my all today! Nearly all, but not all! I'm so bad!
