Law of Attraction – Get Results by Getting Out of Your Own Way – Installment #10
By Sonia Miller | April 6, 2008
(This post is part of a Law of Attraction Series about the 4 Law of Attraction Distractions. For an overview click here.)
The following example illustrates how the ego and higher purpose can express in everyday lives.
The Higher Purpose Friend
The higher purpose friend considers the needs of her relationship above her own needs. When challenges arise in the friendship such as hurt feelings, misunderstandings or disagreements, the higher purpose friend considers the long-term health of her friendship. She asks herself, “What does our relationship need?” as opposed to “What do I need?” The ego-driven friend may feel she needs her friend to call first, or she needs attention or an apology. She may be too consumed with her own perspective to stand outside herself to consider what may be going on for her friend. Her own needs blind her to the needs of her friendship, which could ultimately cost her the friendship. In contrast, the higher-purpose friend, although she honors her own feelings, is able to risk trusting again when she’s been hurt, is able to put aside her pride to call first, and is able to remember that her friend might be going through her own challenges, which cause her to be less emotionally available to her. The ego-driven friend attempts to get her needs met by getting or taking from the friendship, whereas the higher purpose friend seeks to give to her friendship, trusting that her needs can be met as a result of nurturing the relationship.
Next week we’ll move onto distractin #2 of the 4 Law of Attraction Distractions: our emotions.
