I am a small person. Wanting to operate in the world without recognition. Ego pulls and tugs. Wants are endless and this includes the desire for recognition. But given how small I am, and how much the ego wants, how is this even possible, even desirable? It is like tilting at windmills. Thats a interesting notion. The ego, the untamed self, the immature self, is busy scheming and attacking imaginary enemies. While life goes on. You can chose to interact with the ego or just watch as the wonder and mystery of life unfolds. Please chose the later. 

Hope you have an awesome day!
