Episode 26, October 2022: The Path of Humility

A question I’ve heard from time to time in different contexts is “Would you rather be right or happy?” Maybe you’ve been faced with this question yourself from time to time!

It’s a pretty good question, for sure, and I notice that most often, my reflex response is “Well, I’d rather be happy of course!” But as I’ve taken a deeper look at this question, I notice that there are indeed times when the desire to be right has strongly overshadowed my desire to be happy.

As a simple example, I’ve been noticing a strong self-righteous energy showing up recently while reading a book. It may sound silly, I know, but I’m just sharing what’s been happening for me.

(Please watch the video for more!)

Being humble does not mean that you minimize or denigrate yourself. It doesn’t mean that you have to give up your power. You may indeed relinquish the ego-mind force that triggers self-righteousness, but by staying grounded and humble, you can actually stay connected to the truth of who you really are, and this is the ultimate seat of your true power. In other words, if you commit yourself to a path of humility, you can remain aligned with who you are and why you are here. What more could anyone really ask?

In every situation you encounter, you can choose to be right and righteous. Or you can soothe your ego mind, reconnect to your soul, and allow yourself to be guided from the place of humble acceptance of what is. Try it out for yourself. I think you’ll find the path of humility will serve you in amazing ways.
