Howard Falco suggests that you find a new way to view your ego. Many teachings suggest that you quiet the ego, separate from the ego, ignore the ego, and even view it as a negative part of yourself. Instead Falco describes how you should learn to understand and work with your ego. It is your ego, after all, that continually tries to keep you on the track that you have set for yourself. Like an actor in a play, your ego sticks to the script you have written for yourself, so make sure you are living the script you want and learn to work with your ego.
