Aware of Your Thoughts

Sigh, I feel like I'm always on a mission to be a better person, a better human being. Sometimes I do better than other days, and some occasions it takes work and patience. Through Oprah's A New Earth free on-line classes with author Eckhart Tolle, I'm starting to be more aware and be conscious of my ego and how it influences my thinking, speech, and actions. The classes are free and available on-line at anytime with a click. Some of the concepts are so deep, I like to not only listen to the class, but also read the transcript so I can try to understand and take in the message. Like Eckhart said, the concepts are good only when you're ready to listen. Some may think it's against their religion, but to me, it's more of a spiritual journey to be a better human being, and I'm willing to learn from good teachers.
