In Life Therapy your self, your ego, is not an abstract psychological concept. It’s not your psyche. Neither is it your soul or a metaphysical Higher Self. Most important of all, your ego is not a bad thing. It’s not a problem to eliminate.
Your ego is a narrative. It’s your life-story. You don’t have a life-story. You are a life-story. You have no invisible self apart from your life-story.
You are “live and in progress” right now. You are creating your self, your life-story, with every action you take.
You’re making your self up as you go. Like a musician improvising music never played before or again, you’re improvising your life. Like improvised music, you’re a once-in-forever, here-and-gone, creation in time.
From this point forward, be aware of your self-as-story.
