your daily rock : detach from being right.

January 30, 2014 in Daily Rock, General

Would you rather be happy or be right?

I’m choosing happy.

Is it the situation you’re in that is making you angry or upset, or is it your attachment to being right in that situation that is doing the most harm?

When you can give up the need to be right, whole worlds appear. There is a freedom that is palpable. You will feel it in your bones.

When is it the hardest to give up the need to be right?

When you’re right.

Practice then.

Love,
