Dark Night Of The Ego – When You Feel Like Giving Up
When your life falls apart.
Breakdowns of the ego are opportunities for the soul to breakthrough.
When your life is falling apart, it might not seem like it, but it’s also the opening for a new one to begin too.
When everything is going wrong, all your plans are falling through, your relationships are ending, your health is affected, you’re getting rejections left, right and centre, you’re praying for a miracle but instead you stub your toe and bang your head on the doorway on your way out and it’s just yet another pain on top of it all.
It’s hard to imagine that there’s anything on the other side of it. It’s hard to consider a future where you’re free from the stresses and stresses, and the burdens that are making up your day-to-day.
You experience your mental health declining, you’re in spiritual distress, and you’re doing all the right things that worked before – meditations, long walks, but nothing is working like it used to right now.
You’re experiencing the dark night of the ego – a brutal transformation.
I’m not going to tell you to be positive and ignore it! I’m not going to minimise what you’re experiencing right now with “It’ll get better”.
