How d'you do that in a way that makes sure you do let go of the ego?

Letting go of the ego is entirely subjective, there are a lot of ways people let it go or hold on only to various aspects of it. I can only speak to my own experience and in my own mind there is Ego (big "E") and ego (little "e") and they are very different things. I'm personally not into the whole "annihilate the ego" movement in the first place so my ideas about it are very different. Still, I think that the OP makes sense with regard to "asking" oneself to let it go if it is just looked at simply and taking into account the context of what was written. Putting aside the urge to over-analyze that one statement can be a simple choice or one that results in wasting time and energy getting stuck in created meanings when the intended meaning is abundantly clear. Looking deeper into that phrase alone and contemplating ego and letting it go or not is a choice though, looking deeper could prove insightful to some folks.

Lorelyen:

All it needs is -

"I will have a good day today"
"I will be happy."
"I'll deal with my problems when they crop up."
"I will be bold and surrender to the moment." (whatever that means.)

....but I'll let it go. You have to think out affirmations carefully. They do work
and reminding yourself of what you want to move on from will become part of the pitch.

I like what you are saying here Lorelyen, especially the part I have emboldened. I couldn't agree more, the words one chooses should be well thought out. In keeping with that you left in the words you believe are best to keep in but I would consider the fact that they all contain the word "will" right at the beginning. Using the word "will" puts everything in the future, in a perpetual future where it refers to the thing happening someday, right out of reach, the day never actually coming just always being something that "will" happen.
I suppose the reader chooses how they interpret this and that is a good thing. At first glance, just reading it for insight and over-looking anything with multiple meanings... not allowing distraction but rather understanding obvious context, is a choice. Making the choice to understand the underlying points and allowing it to inspire insight is just as easy as making sure all the T's are crossed and all the I's are dotted, LoL. In the end, one makes the choice about what they want to spend their time doing.

I wonder if God gives us circumstances we succumb to for reason to understand why that happened? I was a Alcoholic and drug addict then I woke up to see this was wrong, so I quit. Interesting tho is I see others who are both and I understand why. At the time i didn't care years later I thank God I now see. I feel sad toward those who drink and take drugs. "been there done that". Why I am not dead is beyond me.

I have friends and family who does rink and take drugs.It is hard to say anything because they are in a blind way and refuse to see it. I can only pray that God sees this and understands why as I did. Curious-one
