For most of us, the ego runs the show.  It’s the mind telling you how you should be doing something.  Reminding you what your parents, teachers or preachers told you how the world should work.  It is often the small voice talking to you.  Your heart and gut remind you of what’s right for you.  Your emotional guidance system reminds you if you are heading in the direction of what you desire or in the direction of temptations, shoulds or others’ opinions.  Pay attention to which you are listening to.
