Tiny Teachers

We often find ourselves entangled in the web of right and wrong, losing sight of what truly matters – happiness. Ironically, the purest form of wisdom in this regard comes from the most innocent among us – our children.

Children possess a remarkable ability to live in the moment. They argue, but then, with the simplicity and grace only a child can muster, they move on. They don't hold grudges. For them, the joy of playing with a friend outweighs the need to be right. As we grow older, we start valuing our egos more than our happiness, forgetting this fundamental lesson.

Imagine, for a moment, applying this childlike approach to our adult interactions. Disagreements, misunderstandings, or even conflicts could be resolved more harmoniously if we chose happiness over being right. 

Embracing a mindset that values relationships and a willingness to forgive preserves your peace of mind and lightens your emotional load. 

So, the next time you disagree or hold onto a grudge, pause and ask yourself: "Is being right more important than being happy?" Let's take a page from our children’s book and choose the path that leads to joy and harmony.
