There are things that are initially right but ultimately wrong and vice versa. Wrong and right itself as a distinction being deeply subjective.
?Wrong/right
Right/wrong
Let's start with 'WR'.
?As children' we set up survival strategies that keep us safe and alive. These strategies themselves, such as 'don't trust other people' work very well in childhood abuse scenarios, not so well when that child becomes an adult raising a family. It was the wrong strategy at the right time. These wrong rights can be dropped now as you evolve beyond the situations that created them.
It was the wrong strategy but it was right at the time.
Thinking this way helps you grow strong, not wrong. My friend?Andrew Deering?often says: Instead of thinking wrong and right, perhaps you can ask, "Is it useful?" So simple, so good.
Now let's look at 'RW' right wrong.

?Most people in the world have jobs, a few have careers, fewer again will find their vocation. This, the work of running a thought leaders practice, is a way to be more in love with what you do. As such, you will make choices that put you on the path to living a life on the?path less travelled.?

3 年Great piece Matt thank you. When we are young we dont have much choice and do what we need to survive, but we do have a choice as we live. Beliefs that supported our needs once may be the very beliefs limiting us now.
