Be right? Or be kind?

Be right? Or be kind?

"When you have a choice between being right and being kind, just choose kind." ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

You have those choices everyday. Why is it so hard to let 'right' go? Why must people draw a line in the sand about everything?

And for that matter what is so bad about being wrong? What does it really mean about you? To you?

Could you spend a day letting everything go? Every look? Every eye roll? Every person who cuts you off on the highway?

I don't mean ignoring them and internally seething but really making these things non-issues. Perhaps be observers to them and nothing more... Make them a part of your life but just a passing part -- like a clock ticking. And than tocking to the next second.

Make these things entirely about the other people? Let them say nothing about you? Just see them? Watch them? But not feel them? Not clench when they happen?

If you can do this kind of thing for a day... or an hour... or even one time it will impove you're life. It will empower you.

Right feels mighty but it is brittle where kindness has a flexible endurance -- Like water against stone or branches in a wind.
