Be Right AND Be Happy October 1, 2015

The question “would you rather be right or happy?” implies that we can be one OR the other, but NOT both.
But what if they aren’t mutually exclusive objectives?
The left brain is concerned with judgment. It looks at life through the FILTER of past experience.
And, like the Ego, it wants to be right . . . at any cost.
In contrast, the right brain is concerned with experiencing the moment . . . the only place happiness resides.
It grooves to tunes, savors food, and gets inspired by nature by staying in direct contact with the NOW.
It doesn’t evaluate, judge, or superimpose the past on the present.
It doesn’t worry about the future.
So, what happens when we move from left brain analysis to right brain experiential living?
We are happy being right ~> right here and now!
Aah . . . that’s better!
