The way to being all right

Nonsense has taught me many useful things.  Here’s one that has helped to reduce my stress levels dramatically.  Listen carefully.  The way to be right is not to make others wrong.  The way to be right is to be all right, you know, as in ‘I’m all right, Jack’.

Let me explain.  Because our world is constantly changing, being right is a moment to moment affair.  Right can become wrong as easily as wrong becomes right.

So, I’ve swapped being right for being happy.  After all, being right all the time can be so tiring and tiresome.

Here’s how it’s done.  Actively choose to be all right instead of always right.  Next, aim to comfortably wrong.  When you are wrong, don’t rationalize; apologize and get over it.  Then get on with helping others to be right.

Let me summarize.  The way to be all right is to be comfortable with wrong as you help others to be right.
