Consider being Wrong

Grandfather: “You’re putting jam on the side that has no butter and the butter is on the bottom.”

Rory: “I know but it’s better this way.”

Grandfather: “Why?”

Rory: “’Cause when you do it MY way your tongue gets the butter and the rest of your mouth gets the jam and when you chew it mixes together.”

The brilliant Grandfather, being open to a new way of seeing the world – er toast, takes a piece of his toast flips it over puts jam on the unbuttered side.

He chews and says, “I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life!”

One point for Grandfather – who knows that being right, doesn’t equal winning!

Generally, as humans, we like one person to be right and the other person to be wrong. If you are like most – you like to be the one that is right.

This week consider that there may be more than one right way to do something.

Yours might be right and it just may be one of many right ways.

Considering what you may learn, if you are open to being wrong, it’s just one more way you can live Your Life, Unlimited!
