Is being right pissing you off?
What is the point of being RIGHT if it makes you feel
angry
frustrated and
unsupported
If we attach ourselves to what we believe is “right” so much that any other outcome throws us into deep, negative emotions…what is the point?
*Let’s say someone almost hit your car when they changed lanes, and you were angry for hours because they were in the wrong.
*Or a cashier opened a new lane and asked for the next in line and someone who came after you went ahead…and it made you furious because you knew you were right.
*How about someone lied to you and you believe they should apologize to you because that is the right thing to do. But they don’t, and you justify your anger because you are “right.”
If creating these delineations of right and wrong can have the power to make you feel rage,
then it is a clear sign from the God that your system isn’t working.
Every emotion is giving us a sign.
Pay attention.
Rage and anger are signs that something is out of whack:
Our minds (making the rules) is not in alignment with our divine spirit (that knows we all live under the same state of grace)
So, this week, pay attention to what makes you angry. Are you right? Has your mind been actively ruminating over all the reasons you are right? And every time you think of it, you spiral down to that low emotional vibration?
Well, then, how is being right working for you? Sounds pretty miserable to me.
I’d rather be wrong and happy.


this is one of your best blogs yet… and so true :)
Thank you!
Bingo – direct hit on one of my worst traits as a spouse. With most everyone else I can let things go for the sake of peace.
I find this comes out the most with the people I love – my husband and kids!
So true! I find that when I get enraged when I have been “wronged” it is usually my ego getting in the way.
It can be a slippery slope – the key is recognizing it and turning it around. Harder than you would think!
So true.
