Always Right

It’s really hard for me to be wrong. I am one of THOSE PEOPLE that are “always right”. I see your grammatical and typographical errors. It’s hard for me to really, truly, hear someone else’s viewpoint on something I care about. (Sometimes, even things I don't care about) 

This is where I will struggle the most with humbling myself. I need to realize that I am not ALWAYS right. I need to open my ears to new ways of looking at things. Just because it's my knowledge or my viewpoint does not mean it is without flaw or that I shouldn't be open to refute.

My boyfriend is my best lesson in this. He is so different from anyone that I would have ever dated. He has some crazy ideas that he spouts off about and I love him, so I listen. It has really shown me, in these past two years, that I am capable of shutting up long enough to let someone else give their view and I am even capable of agreeing with them and shifting my own opinion on some things.

When I put up the wall of “I am right, period” – it’s only me who is missing out. I am cutting off connections and knowledge that I could be gaining. They are just as worthy of being heard as I am, and that is a lesson I need to remember.
