Even if we have a fuzzy idea of ego and soul, I think this question wakes us up.
What does my essential self want?
What does God-in-me want?
What does my creativity want?
What does my joy want?
What does my sense of integrity want?
What does my-self-that-tells-me-the truth want?
The ego gets caught in artificially constructed sense of identity, the desire to please authority and meet cultural expectations, the desire for familiarity and comfort, even if those patterns no longer serve us.
Today ask "What does my soul want" and be open to whatever the answer may be.
