The Law of Attraction - Get Results by Getting Out of Your Own Way - Installment #5

(This post is part of a Law of Attraction Series about the 4 Law of Attraction Distractions. For an overview click here.)
Law of Attraction - Distraction #1 - Your Ego
Ego Management - Short Term vs. Long Term Approach
This ongoing technique of noticing your ego when it shows up, assessing whether or not it is serving you, and practicing replacement therapy is a short-term solution to the problems your ego can present. It works, yet it requires constant mindfulness. There is a longer-term approach that can make the management of your ego much easier, and that approach is the pursuit and expression of your higher purpose in life.
Your Life Purpose
Your soul came here to do something. Your soul, that broader, grander aspect of you, vibrates at a unique and original frequency. It has its own signature, which, like a fingerprint, only you have. To know your purpose is to know what your soul came here to do. Your soul has a unique calling, a passion, a need to express itself fully. And only you can offer what your soul has to offer. This drive for self-expression is expansive. According to Webster’s Dictionary, the word expand means: “to increase in extent, size, scope, or volume.” Hence, when you are living from purpose, you are experiencing and expressing energies that go beyond you. You give. You offer. You express. You serve. You contribute. In other words, one way or another, you are reaching others. And because this all originates within the soul, and the soul is the conduit to the Universe and its natural essence of love, when you are living from higher purpose, the effect on others will always be positive.
When you know your purpose and have found satisfying ways to express it, you have walked through a door that is now forever open to you. Your consciousness has now expanded to accommodate a new way of living. And although your consciousness can always remember how to live life from ego, it now has an alternative perspective that is oh-so-much-more satisfying. The reason that living your life from purpose makes the management of your ego so much easier is that purpose is so much more powerful than ego. The expansive energies of higher purpose include energies like love, joy, creativity and gratitude. On the other hand, ego is aligned with energies like fear, separation, limitation and scarcity. It is an energy that contracts. Remember, ego is that part of your consciousness that maintains the illusion of separation from Source. Therefore, as opposed to serving others, ego is all about serving the self in maintaining and protecting the illusion of separation, aloneness and not-enoughness.
When your sense of self is rooted primarily in the ego, that is all you have to work with. So, if you want to manifest soulfully, you have to manage your ego on an ongoing basis. However, when your sense of self is rooted in higher purpose, suddenly a very expansive energy has taken over your persona. In essence, your higher purpose overpowers your ego. Your ego simply does not have the room, the time or the space to get the better of you, because your purpose is taking up most of your consciousness. When your purpose is alive and well, expressing in your life, managing your ego is infinitely easier.
