My Desire to Be Right Causes Me Pain

by Rev. Joan Haber

I was given an opportunity to choose between being right and being happy yesterday and I discovered that I act out of habit. When the situation arose, I instinctively turned on my defenses and made a decision out of wanting to be “right” with this other person.

Right after I did so, I stopped and actually thought about what I did and why. I believe it is this type of vigilant awareness that will eventually save me from this type of situation that only brings me pain.

I also checked in with myself and asked of myself, “How does this behavior feel in your body?” My answer was that I felt a familiar feeling of anxiety and discomfort within my body. I apologized to the person in question, which caused everything to just go “poof” and we were both happy. Thank you God!
