Oh, The Places Your Ego Will Go!

By Scott Kalechstein Grace


Your ego will travel with you on this earth
And be your companion for worser or worse
It pretends it's your friend, your bestest amigo
And it pours on the guilt, that's the mark of the ego

It's there to protect you, to help you be strong
So it has to remind you you've done it all wrong
You're lazy, you're weak, and you don't have a clue
That's your ego at work trying to motivate you!
The ego wants you to be all you can be
So it gives you these pep talks all day and for free
Oh, the places you'll go and the guilt trips you'll travel
As the ego plays judge and bangs down on its gavel

But you always can get some relief from your shame
By projecting it on to the others you'll blame
For that is the ego at its beastiest best
It nurses its grievances close to its chest
Republicans, liberals, your parents, your ex
The world is just teeming with folks to correct
If only these fools would conform to your ways
You could get on with life without further delays

The ego keeps finding new gripes to complain about
Turns molehills to mountains of yikes! to feel pain about
Sometimes the ego's stuff makes you so stuffy
You come down with a cold or an ouchy more roughy

But there's no time for rest so get up out of bed!
If you're just here and now then you won't get ahead
Your to-do list must buzz like the bees when they're busying
Keep filling your days till they're endlessly dizzying

Oh, the places you'll go and the people you'll see
All through the lens of "What's in it for me?"
For the ego believes there is something it lacks
And until it is found it won't let you relax
Perhaps you will find it in the next one you date
True love at first sight with a soul kind of mate
The romance is hot till the climate turns cold
Cause when two halves combine they do not make a whole
It's fine till the love gets obscured by control
Cause when two halves collide they cannot make a whole


So the ego moves on ever constantly striving
Addicted to seeking and afraid of arriving
You're traveling fast at the speed of surviving
With fear in the drivers seat doing the driving
No trust is a must you must always be worried
No peace till deceased you must always be hurried
The joys of each moment go swishing on by
As the ego keeps reaching for pies in the sky
Groping and grasping with arms that are flailing
(And the ego loves giving you F for your failings!)

Or perhaps you are on the fast track of success
You're constantly driven to be great, better, best!
You're a mover, a shaker, a big time achiever
You're a real self-made man, a dazzling diva
You're rich and you're famous and make quite a splash
You're on top of the world and you're rolling in cash
You drive the right car and you've married the right spouse
Today lunch with Oprah, tomorrow the White House

But at night insecurity pays you a call
Cause you know anytime that you could lose it all
Your shrink says to rest and your spouse sure agrees
Your doctor says, "Ulcers, take fourteen of these."
You know you should slow it down sooner or later
But your foot is just glued to the accelerator

Your ego consoles, "Well, at least we're successful
It's a sign of success to be constantly stressful
You've made it to prime time and everyone loves you"
But your self-esteem's based on what others think of you
And opinions can change in the blink of an eye
Which is why you need meds just to sleep and get by

One day when you've failed and succeeded enough
You witness your ego exposed in the buff
And you realize without all its protective clothing
That the ego is simply a state of self-loathing
And beyond that you find out the biggest of deals
That you've dreamt up the ego, it's not even real!
So for richer, for poorer, in all kinds of health
You commit to the journey of loving yourself
You release the projections you placed upon others
And find through forgiveness that peace is discovered
You realize the love that you searched for outside you
Is what you are made of and can't be denied you
So you let go your worries, your plans, and your pills
Put some logs on the fire and learn how to chill
Your old superstitions have gone up in smoke
(Like you can't rest in peace until after you croak)
You no longer fear death or for that matter life
Cause you know that all matters are safe and all right

While resting in peace you will soon be inspired
To go out in the world with some newfound desires
Desires that spring from your heart and your soul
And wherever they take you you're going there whole
Cause your ego is now in the passenger seat
It rolls down the window and takes in the treats
You're not in a hurry you're taking it slow
Cause the journey's as rich as the places you'll go
Where you are going you don't need to know
For the journey's as rich as the places you'll go

" I read Scott's book in one sitting on the toilet. Before I flushed I got a call from one of my accountants. He told me that my income had just quadrupled! Now my wife and I are in negotiation to buy a get-away island for our friends and family to retreat to… the continent of Australia!"

-Rony Tobbins

"Some books promise so much more than they deliver. Other books peddle false hope to make a buck and manipulate vulnerable people who want to believe anything. A few books are the real deal and help people who are ready to help themselves. Just Get Over It! goes beyond all three of the previous categories. Just buying this book will change your life. Opening it will make your wildest dreams come true. And actually reading it will make you a master."

-Chebok Dropah

"I was reluctant to get Just Get Over It! It seemed like so much hype. But my producer said it couldn't be ignored, so I browsed through it. Now, I'm sold. I want everyone in America to read this book and practice its principles. This book will make Dr. Phil unemployed. And I'm sure he won't mind. He confided in me over lunch the other day that he is sick and tired of… Oops. Too much information. Anyway, it's an incredible book!"

-Oprey Whindfall


" I couldn't put it down. My wife kept asking me to come to bed and I kept re-reading it and ignoring her. She finally threw the book at me and filed for divorce, but thanks to Just Get Over It!, I am realizing that she wasn't my soul mate after all. Now I'm ready to meet my true love, a woman who doesn't get angry at me and call me a workaholic, or wake up with bad breath. Hey, I deserve it, so why should I settle for less? Oh, and how's this for good fortune? She got half of everything I own in the settlement, and I'm still a billionaire. Great book!"

-Tronald Dump


"I read Just Get Over It from page to page four times in a row. Each time I noticed a gradual improvement in my ability to be more patient and tolerant with people who disagree with my views. So what if they are misguided, antagonistic, and ridiculous? This book showed me I can rise above their pettiness and be bigger than them. Also, with each reading, I noticed that I had significantly upped my income. My advice? Get the book and up yours!"

-Lush Rimbaugh
