Give Up The Need To Be Right
My need to be right is the formula for perpetual conflict.
When I believe that I am always right, I make the rest of the world wrong if they don’t agree with me.
The probability I am always right is zero.
If I work hard at it, I may be right most of the time, but I will never be right all the time. It’s impossible and not worth the effort.
When the need to be right consumes me, I live a life of perpetual conflict.
I need to decide whether I would rather be happy or rather be right.
The world doesn’t need a critic and isn’t impressed by my commitment to righteous judgment.
The world needs my love and help rather than my judgment. When my heart is full of love, negative and judgmental thinking fades.
When I take the initiative and send love to everyone, conflict fades as well.
At the end of my life, no one will ask me how many conflicts I had or whether I won or lost all those battles. No one will ask if I was always right.
On the final judgment day, I will be judged on loving and letting go.
When I love people, conflict disappears. A heart full of love easily handles ninety-nine percent of life’s challenges and does it without conflict. It recognizes how often things are worth fighting about. The answer is almost never.
