How can you tell if the ego is running the show?

Hi !
How can you tell if the ego/mind is running the show? Very simply. Whenever you are not wholly joyous, you can be certain the ego is in charge and masquerading as you.
The ego is an imposter. He likes to make you think it's you that's depressed and confused, but that's utterly impossible because God did not create depression or confusion. He created only Light which is what you are. You can't be depressed (or sick or sad or conflicted) because these these things don't exist.
I absolutely love today's lesson 37 from A Course in Miracles:
My holiness blesses the world.
"This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the world, or why you are here. "
YES and AMEN.
I love this. It's so easy.
The other day a friend of mine Vicki Poppe said: "It's a simple formula: What I bless, multiplies."
EXACTLY! That's it. What I bless, multiplies.
The difficulty is that most people only spend the tiniest amount of their day blessing things - remembering their holiness - because they are too busy being confused, depressed, angry or sad. But the power of decision is my own. MY STATE OF MIND IS A CHOICE.
I choose to BE as God created me, and only that.
Love is what I am, so there is no need for conflict.
Love is what you are, so there is no need for conflict.
Either I am in joy and gratitude, blessing everything OR the ego has snuck in and has taken over.
That really simplifies it. Either I am supremely happy, realizing that my holiness blesses the world, in a constant state of gratitude or I am just having a bad time ... by my own choice and decision. I'm doing it to myself. Kinda funny when you really take an honest look at it.
I choose to live every day in love and gratitude. What I bless, multiplies.
"Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the
world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by
telling it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in
your holiness are all things blessed along with you."
Just FYI: I have posted all the blog posts in archive form and they can be accessed from my website (the link says Blog): http://www.gorgeousforgod.com
I bless you and give thanks to God for you in my life ... for your friendship and for your commitment to salvation. I love you.
Enjoy today.
Love, Lisa
