7/21/06: The Joy of Being Wrong

If you’re always right, how will you know when you’re wrong?

The discovery that one is wrong is a great moment indeed, for it is the moment of awareness, truth and clarity. It is a realization that at once eradicates ignorance, denial and blame.

People who think they are always right rob themselves of the pleasures and benefits of learning, growing, expanding.

By nature, life is ever evolving and expanding. By refusing to be wrong, one is left behind in a state of stagnancy while life evolves and changes and improves around them.

When you open yourself up to being wrong, you open yourself up to evolve, to become a better person. You begin to lead a life that is more flexible, alert and expansive.

You begin to finally live.
