When was the last time you made a wish and believed it would come true? When was the last time you really BELIEVED that good things were about to happen in your life?
It is human nature to be pessimistic, to expect the worst out of every situation. It is easy for us to be negative because when we entered the physical realm we were given an Ego. The purpose of the Ego is to protect us, to make sure that our needs are met and that we are doing what we need to do to survive in what can be a very dangerous world.
But, the Ego is the exact opposite of Spirit. Instead of being rooted in love and compassion, the Ego is rooted in fear and competition. Instead of believing in infinite abundance, the Ego believes in lack and scarcity. This leads us to be naturally fearful beings. Because of our Ego, most of us tend to view the world as a giant game of "Us vs. Them."
