I am currently on “vacation” from work but trying to make a decision on whether to take the family somewhere on a well-deserved time off (especially mom) or really take a good look at our finances and not take a trip at all. I guess my question is, what causes more stress? The not taking real time off or the dealing with the financial strain when you come back?

I recently started becoming more self-aware, and read some information on the ego, that was very negative, and I started to have an internal battle with myself, mainly with my ego, and I am trying to find more ways to loosen the grasp of my own ego, but because I started fighting myself, I feel that I became more gripped in it. How do I return to my natural essence, and forgive myself for turning against myself?

What is your source of wisdom? If you have a question in mind for which you are seeking for an answer what do you do? How do you validate that the answer is truth and not something that was created by our programmed mind?
