You may be right
The other day I had a huge chuckle — that then shapeshifted into a really good Aha awareness!
Okay, you are likely familiar with the idea of, “Would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy?” Me, too. And it’s a good one to spend some time sitting with. Then, I read Pam Grout’s blog post that referenced a book title called “Do you want to be right or do you want to be married?” Ha ha haaa, I got a kick out of that one. Yes, there is wisdom in there as well. And we could find any number of words that, to an individual, describe happy relationship. Would you rather be right, or would you rather be in a healthy relationship? Be employed? Have friends?
All chuckling aside, this was a remimder for me to practice the art of being agreeable. And suddenly, in my intentional interactions of releasing righteousness (including the ones kept just in my head), THIS happened:
Even as I stepped back and allowed another to be right in a given moment or situation, I fully felt and knew that I was also right.
Not being right does not make you wrong.
Being right is not limited to only one person at a time. Even when working toward a finite outcome together.
But wait, you might be thinking….
You may be right.
I’ll keep pondering it, too.
Not being right does not make you wrong.
