Hi Folks,
Watch this clip...it's only 5 mins long and I'm sure you get heaps from it. Point 2 is the big one, I've been bangin on about it for a long time now. To be "right" is a function of the mind, and usually always leads to negativity and ultimately TMS......to be HAPPY is the natural state of the soul. I don't know about you, but I choose happy.....it's just nicer
Sad this guy almost died to figure this stuff out.....

| Thanks Darko, I just had a nasty political argument with a really good friend and , as always, I argue to win. Win what? Always trying to be right creates alot of hard feelings. My father told me years ago that nobody ever thanked you for proving them wrong. I will try to become more aware of my words and intentions. It takes alot of effort to break old habits but I think this is quite worth the effort. Susie |

Thanks Darko, What a good reminder. I have so many people in my life who like to be right as much as I do  . Would be interesting to just let that go and see what happens without my plane having to crash.

Susie.......I like this statement. I have locked this one away and will keep it. In fact I have busted it out once or twice since reading it last week
Cheers
