One of the pleasures of having a commute (30 minutes) every morning and afternoon, is that instead of listening to the news which has an amazing knack for depressing me, I am instead able to enrich myself by listening to audiobooks through my Audible account.
I am currently listening to The Secrets of the Power of Intention
On the ride in this morning there was one thing that really resonated with me. Dr. Dyer said that one of the steps to removing ones ego is to “stop always being right”. This is something that I know I have difficulty with. I have a tendency to always have an answer, and occasionally (not all the time, but too often nonetheless), I will defend this poorly-if-at-all thought out answer of mine for no really good reason. I just want to be right. I know that I do not have all the answers, and occasionally am borderline stupid, so why would I think that everything spewing from my mouth should be correct?
So, in the spirit of Blaine’s post on positivity, if you see me being stupid um, me defending a position for no reason, or if I am being negative in any way, stop me. Tell me to think about what I am doing. I appreciate it in advance!
