Isn't it amazing how much time and effort is expended in fulfilling the desire to be right?  Businesses have gone bust as a result of it and relationships have fallen apart.  I think there is an important distincition to be made between doing what is right and being right. 

Doing what is right is often a far greater stretch to make than yielding to the temptation of being right.  Childhood indoctrination and eductation may have re-enforced some of those burning desires to be right.  Being right for some, is a means of validation, some ritual that has to be completed in order to prove something personally.  If this resonates with you on any level, avoid worrying, it is commonplace, just about everybody will be able to relate to that overwhelming desire to be right.

If you are driven by this desire, you might like to ask yourself what it has cost you to be right over the years.  How many relationships have you damaged?  How many bad decisions have you made professionally?  What has it cost you financially?

The truth is, the desire to be right is a way of feeding the egoic mind, whereas doing what is right feeds a much deeper  place in your being.  As you go through your week this week, consider how many of your actions are driven by the desire to be right.  See what happens when you step back, take a deep breath and then make a decision to do what is right, or to do the right thing.  Notice the results that you get personally, professionally and financially.
