Unafraid to be wrong

The below too is from my archives while I'm travelling. Ralph Marston writes a wonderful daily message. To find him please google his name.

*************************

Do not be afraid to contradict yourself. For enlightenment is
a moving target.

Be willing to admit when you are mistaken. For that is how
you gain valuable wisdom from the mistakes.

Take no offense if others say that you're a hypocrite.
Instead, consider that they may have a point, and use it to
learn something about yourself.

Steadfastly devote yourself to truth. Yet keep in mind that
there is more to the truth than what you can now see.

Let go of any illusion you may have that you're infallible.
Get beyond your own ego, and you'll open yourself to
profound truth.

Be willing to be wrong. For in so doing, you can discover
what is truly right.

Ralph Marston
************************

Remember, it's the weak who are afraid to be wrong. A strong, clear, grounded person is ever open to becoming stronger, clearer, more aware and enlightened, and therefore welcomes an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Ego is not their enemy, but their 'healthy' ego is their best friend. For them, life is NOT a popularity contest, but a wondrous journey, with potential for more beauty, more joy at each turn...

Here's to the next turn on yours,
