Hi. My name is Felipe , and I’m a realty television show addict.  There, I said it ok? Every time I watch these shows, I start getting caught up in the drama of it all. I like to see who’s going to win and how these contestants do each week.  For some reason, I was thinking this weekend about how I speak to people about current situations in my life.  It was almost as if there was a little voice, my ego,  in my head saying “Poor me, look at how I was treated.”  It was as if my ego, wanted validation for my situation.  It was like I was watching a reality tv show of my own life.  THAT SCARED ME!! What is this need? My ego is fighting for survival and is dramatizing my life for me.  I see it so much clearer in other people, and then realized I was creating my own Bravo show.  As much fun as that sounds to be famous for 15 minutes, that goes away and what do you have left? YOU! That’s it. Other people’s sympathy, hearing how wronged you were, or anger directed towards someone doesn’t amount to anything in the long run.  It’s useless…but I continue to buy into it. I don’t want to do that anymore.  I don’t need to be a victim. I don’t need to broadcast my insecurities to others by imploring their sympathies.  Deal with them.  Work through it.  Focus on your desires, your dreams and let go of the “obstacles” in your path.  It’s amazing how quickly I can tell that to someone else, but when it comes to me I don’t live it fully.  Just another step on this spiritual path.
