your daily rock : detach from being right

January 30, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

“Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first.” –Goenka

Ask yourself these four questions when you are stubbornly clinging to being right:

Why do you think you are so attached to being right about this situation?

Why is being right about this so important to you?

Doesn’t everyone have their own version of ‘right’?

I wonder what would happen if you gave up your need to be right?

Love,
