Getting used to confronting or challenging people is not an easy task but one that can and should be learned to be done in the right way. I think that the most valuable lesson a human being can take on is learning to disarm the ego to avoid the illusory and temporary happiness that arises from immediate self-gratification, self-importance, and the love of material things. The ego will never lead you to true love or everlasting peace of mind and happiness. It is very difficult to think, speak and act from a higher level when one does not know how to control the ego. This is not to say that one is not be gratified or have material things, but that anything worth having or experiencing in life comes with a higher purpose to help the receiver achieve real dreams and desires that are true and everlasting. So, there's always work to be done. If you think you can't win a marathon without proper training, why would you think that you can have anything you want at the snap of a finger and win at life. Life is all never changing principle.

When you begin to recognize the difference between the real you and the ego, you begin to understand that the ego's primary function is survival and not to lead you to true love, peace of mind, or happiness because that is not it's function but yours. It is your responsibility to learn how to think, feel and act the right way, since you are the captain of your ship. When you give your personal power away to your emotions, other people, circumstances or conditions, you are in big trouble because you are giving power to things that have no power at all and therefore can't possibly lead you in the right direction. All your power is within you and it is very much alive and willing to help you live a great life, but you've got to recognize it and you must be willing to do what is right at all times. You can not compromise with life because you think that you will not get what you need or want. The most effective way to push all the good things out of life is to do the wrong thing. All of the good and finer things in life require dedication, discipline and persistence. When great things happen in your life, it looks like magic to others, but you know it is no magic to you because you intentionally set a goal and worked toward it in faith that you would succeed. And I am talking about things happening naturally in your life and not you scheming to exalt yourself externally while pushing your way through to make things happen as happiness derived
