IS BEING RIGHT MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING HAPPY?

We want to believe our positions are more important than our happiness. But, is it really? Is being right more important than being at peace?
After an argument or misunderstanding, we hold on to little resentment. And most of the time, we wait for the other to reach out and apologize, believing this is the only way we can forgive and move on. I was that person. The one that would turn little things into big things wait and let time and resentment magnify the issue. I wasn’t angry anymore because of “that”, but now I was upset because the other didn’t apologize. I’d let time pass until the point I no longer knew why I was so angry, but I was. We want to believe our positions are more important than our happiness. But, is it really? Is being right more important than being at peace?
When you let go of your position when you dissociate from your ego, you reach a higher consciousness, and reaching out isn’t that difficult. You are taking the reins of the way you want to feel, and you are back in control. Your happiness no longer depends on the actions of others, but your own only. Next time it happens to you, be the first to reach out. By doing that, the other will become less defensive, might also apologize, and be more loving toward you.
When this becomes difficult for you, there are techniques that, as a coach, we can try to get out of a stuck state and move on. DM if you have any questions!
