[ Ego / Soul ]

I’m not much into woo-woo stuff (don’t ask me about chakras.  I did read a little, listened a little, and then moved on.  Interesting, but…woo-woo). 

Differentiating between ego and soul isn’t woo-woo, though some might see it that way. 

Our egos are well understood:  they swell with success, and pout when distressed. 

But consider the soul, too.  Our soul is not impressed by success, but rather feeds on joy, and comfort.  Egos wants reward over and over, nothing less.  The soul thrives on wonder.

It’s Elizabeth Gilbert’s writing that got me seeing the difference.  Ok, maybe a little woo-woo, sometimes.
