Have you found any resources that can ameliorate megalomania?

Yes - plenty on being humble - as the good book says - the meek shall inherit the earth!

There is no true and constant gentleness without humility. While we are so fond of ourselves, we are easily offended with others. Let us be persuaded that nothing is due to us, and then nothing will disturb us. Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we will become indulgent towards those of others.

It seems to be part of our humanness to put a lot of energy into trying to live the life we think we “should” be living. Many of us have had (and maybe still have) an underlying belief that we are just not good enough as we are, that we are inadequate and insufficient beings. Along with this comes deep disappointment and discontent which can color our lives. This often increases as we compare ourselves to others and surmise that we come up short.

Then you might read a variety of self help books and try to practice what is offered there. However, if there is an underlying belief that you are inherently inadequate, it will eventually get triggered again as you try to practice what you’ve learned.

Or maybe you get the hang of a technique and things go better for awhile but then the old discontent with your life and/or yourself eventually gets triggered again.

Sound familiar? Well guess what …


Loads in their menus as well!

All the best!

Most of us call it happiness, but what you are really in search of is inner peace. We want to be able to navigate difficult situations without losing our minds, we want to address stress with ease and calm, and we want to end the nagging idea that we should be doing more, being more, and having more. We want to feel good even when things aren’t going as planned. We want quality relationships and way less drama. Am I right?
