Sometimes it's hard to do that, even if you're right.

I think I learned to accept that I was WRONG often, after I began having children. What a freeing experience it is to just be able to say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Just like so many things I have learned about myself here at HOS.... I accept my faults, and learn from them. Guilt free here, and easy to say NO. Not that things have to be perfect, that word is over-rated, best to my ability. There aren't limitations to what I can do, but sometimes it's much easier to focus on getting the small stuff done before taking the giant steps....as luck might have it, I'm so happy to realize that in my small world here in the midwest, life is as good as it gets, and I'm so thankful I don't have a reality camera walking beside me to allow others find my, oh so humanly faults.

It is truly a beautiful day!!

Learning to admit and allowing yourself to be wrong is a learned skill. I hate to be wrong but often times know that I am. But you're right. Once you learn how to admit and allow yourself to admit to others that you are wrong- you free yourself therefore allowing yourself to learn and grow. And that's what life is about- learning and growing. We do it from birth and if we're lucky, we do it throughout the rest of our lives.

And simply admitting when you are wrong earns you so much respect in my book. There is nothing worse in my books than someone who can't acknowledge when they are wrong or simply don't know what is right.

And also it is so important to know that sometimes being right isn't as important salvaging the relationship.

I am wrong at times... more often than I would like to admit... but I CAN and DO admit it when I am.... and I am so often annoyed by others who seem to think that admitting to an occasional error somehow lessens them as a person. I respect those that are honest about their rights AND wrongs...it is what makes the sum of the person. Your ending that relationship may not have been right or wrong... it may simply be a lesson for the other person, who might just get it this time. Then again, maybe they wont...but that is not yours. You did what YOU needed to do for you, and in the end that is the only right thing to do. I salute you bc I know it was not done lightly.
