THOUGHT FOR TODAY: BEING WRONG If what you seek is Truth, there is one thing you must have above all else. I know. An overwhelming passion for it. No. An unremitting readiness to admit you may be wrong.- Anthony de Mello Being wrong does not compromise who I am. I cannot grow if I cannot be wrong. I cannot change if I cannot tolerate recognizing the error of my previous ways, my own smallness, my own ignorance. Holding onto an opinion or behavior, even a feeling, is foolish if reexamining it would be of benefit to me. I only hurt myself and frustrate those I am close to when I am unnecessarily stubborn. If I cannot occasionally shake my head at the fool I have been, how can I move into a greater and a better understanding? I can laugh at myself, I can have compassion for myself, I can feel a healthy amount of guilt and regret and then forgive myself and let it flow downstream. I can allow myself to be full of human error and still love and accept myself. GODSPEED
