The Cost of Being Right

Sponsored by

It is often easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they have been fooled. Not because people lack intelligence, but because our beliefs become tied to our sense of self. When they are challenged, resistance appears, and that resistance quietly creates tension.

A more useful happiness strategy is not asking whether you are wrong, but asking whether a belief is still serving you. Does it reduce friction in your life or create it? Does it bring clarity or keep you stuck? When you examine beliefs through their impact rather than your ego, defensiveness fades.

Clarity is freeing. The moment you choose what works over what once felt right, you release unnecessary weight. You stop battling reality and start moving with it. And that subtle yet powerful shift makes happiness easier to access.
