How often do we want to be “right” to the detriment of being
useful? This is particularly true in times of great uncertainty such as a serious
illness of a loved one.
When we believe we have to be right and our way is the only way we are in the space of ego rather than heart.
When in ego we are likely to believe our feelings are more valid than the feelings of others. We also believe others should do things our way, believe our way and act in a way we feel is appropriate. This leads to resistance, anger, frustration and inability to see what is the highest good for all concerned.
The most loving thing one can do is to know others are entitled to their feelings, beliefs and response throughout uncertain times. Easy to say, not always easy to do.
It is essential to stay very centered during uncertain times. This requires a deep level of willingness in order to stay at a high level of awareness. It’s about moving in our heart space to be more fully present to the needs of all concerned.
When we move in heart energy we are able to be useful rather than needing to be right. It is in our need to be right we often put everyone concerned at a disadvantage due to subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) manipulating others in order to prove our point is the best point which means we believe our position is the only position.
When you are in the middle of circumstances where emotions are running high, step back, release the attachment to the need to be right and be willing to give others the space to be who they are, not who you think they should be.
The best way to do this is to take quiet time, connect with God, Higher Power, Source, Universe or whatever your guiding force is.
Pray for the willingness to be willing to let go of who you believe yourself to be, asking for the wisdom to be who you are meant to be. It is in this willingness so much is revealed and we are truly able to be useful, loving and compassionate under even the toughest circumstances.
Isn’t this truly what we are being called to do?
