Being wrong

Being wrong is a brave thing to admit to.

It takes courage.

Most of us have grown up in the ‘black and white’ world of being right is a win and being wrong is for losers.

It is almost like a badge of honour to win an argument, it is how our worthiness can be measured. It’s often how people feel superior to others.

To admit that you were wrong is hugely liberating, as you release the massive pressure attached to always having to be right in order to feel worthy.

It’s simply a question of unlearning in order to be free.

Things don’t fail

The outcome might not be as we anticipated from the outset. Things rarely are.

We have created a myth, similar to the black and white ‘good vs evil’ story, of only two outcomes, win or lose, success or failure.

That is because it is easier to sell the myth, it is easier to always get us to come back for more and there is nothing more powerful than the myth that is a failure.

‘Failure’ needs to be redefined as learning. No need for any negatives, after all, who sets out to fuck things up?

Stop beating yourself up with their myths, create your own rules and simply carry on positively learning from the choices we make.

Better than fearing to do something because you might fail. If there is fear, then that is normally a sign you are onto something, it might not work, but that is how we learn.
