Being right

Admitting we are wrong can be difficult and embarrassing for most of us. After all who wants to look like an idiot. In an effort not to be wrong we can get quite adamant and defensive when trying to prove that we are right.  This causes all sorts of problems in our relationships when people refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong.  In fact, as you know, things can get quite heated and ugly while each person stands on what they believe is right.  There are even times when we know we are wrong but just won’t admit it in order to avoid losing our dignity.  What is so important about being right all the time?  Life is about learning.  The only way we can learn and grow is to accept and embrace different, new and even better ways of doing things.  We might need to be more open to changing our thinking, attitude, behaviour or habits in order to live a better more fulfilling life.
If you pay attention when you are corrected, you are wise. If you refuse to learn, you are hurting yourself. If you accept correction, you will become wiser.
