// Peace of mind’s three biggest enemies…//

A while ago, I had this idea about the three biggest evils in the struggle for peace of mind. The three E’s, if you will…

1. Ego

2. Entitlement

3. Expectations

One leads to the next on the path to misery and anguish. Having an overinflated sense of self-importance leads to a feeling that you’re owed something in life, which leads you to start fantasizing about what those things might be. Then, when you don’t achieve your goals or get what you think you deserve, you end up weighed down by disappointment and despair.

But if you can keep these three things in check most of the time, I think it’s a huge step in the right direction on the road to inner peace. Now let’s see if I can follow my own advice.
