Let’s talk about letting go of the need to be right.
I get that this is a hard concept to wrap your head around.
It feels so awkward and counter-intuitive.
But when I realised that life is really just everyone making assumptions and interpretations of events (as in – there’s very little TRUTH) – it became obvious that interpretations are rarely going to be the same. We all view events through our own eyes. And it feels pretty ‘right’, the way we see it.
But is it? What are you really fighting for?
What if you were never able to change someone’s mind (because they feel ‘right’ too) and you were wasting precious energy trying to do so? What might it feel like to let go of the need to be right?
I challenge you to think about that this week. To notice how many times you are trying to prove a point or be the one with the final say. How many arguments happen because you believe that your interpretation is more correct than someone else’s?
Let’s talk about it in our Facebook Group!
Watch the video and let me know what you think.
Much love – and LIGHTNESS!

WOW! Just wow! I did not even realise how much I do this….. Try to prove to my husband or my kids that I’m right; try to prove to my work colleagues that I’m capable; try to prove to others that I know what I’m doing in life! I’m expending so much effort on what others think. Something to work on for me!
So glad I came across this. I have a friend who will makes comments to me about things regarding me and others and I think in my head …… that’s not right. Sometimes I just let it go, as I have learnt from previous experience that it is a waste of time putting my view across. However, I find myself after wishing I had said something to her. I will learn to let go. Thanks Lisa.
