Ego’s Place
I had the privilege of meeting up with my father’s youngest sister Dawn Lawrence, along with her partner John Allan, the other day.
Now John has an operatic background, and at one point, early on in his career, was the understudy for Placido Domingo who became world-renowned as one of ‘The Three Tenors’.
John recounted some advice that he was given by the great singer that rang true to me and it went like this:
Whenever you come to the opera house to do what we love to do – you leave your hat, your coat and your ego with the concierge at the door. When you have performed you pick up your hat, your coat but leave your ego there. It is now up to your audience and the press to tell you how good you were.
No wonder he became such a world famous performer who commanded such love and respect.
And as I have previously written – ‘your trumpet is always only for others to blow.’

I like to go in this way with ego and stress. If you felt that your so and so behavior was not good. You did cause of ego. Than go for a long drive near some lake or at some calm place. I usually choose the lake view cause i enjoy a lot there. I like to through pebbles in that. And with every pebble i shout by saying m throwing away my ego, my stress, my pain. And when i return, you can’t find ego or pain with me.
I forgive myself for what i have done due to my egoistic behavior as i have regretted what i have done.
Once you are sorry for wrong thing, thats the assurance that you will never do that thing again..
