There are times
when we find ourselves at odds with
someone. It may seem that our only
choices are to get caught up in the
situation or walk away. The ego
tells us that we must prove we are
right. If we walk away, the other
person will win. The ego keeps us
from recognizing there is another
choice. Whatever situation
confronts us, we must recognize our
right to be at peace. The need to
be right and meet discord head on begins
within. It is a need that stems
from feelings of powerlessness,
unworthiness and a lack of love.
It shows up in life as arguments and
confrontation. When we have peace
in our hearts and minds, we draw peace
into our lives. When discord and
disharmony present themselves, we can
stand firm. When we let go of the
need to prove to ourselves, nothing and
no one can disturb the quiet and peace
of our minds.
