#868: Not needing to be right

Today I achieved something that I really struggle with... being able to walk away from a situation without fighting to be "right". I've noticed that about myself for a while now--I get defensive, I need to have a rebuttal, and I get worked up about getting people to agree with me. Today I was involved in a situation where I allowed myself to be vulnerable, probably the most vulnerable I've ever been before... and I was hurt, but I fought back my urges to be defend myself... I allowed love to take over and convinced myself that peace was more important. It was difficult, so very difficult, but I'm thankful I was able to do it for myself during this moment.
