Musings on Spiritual Matters

It seems that some people can never admit they are wrong.  No matter what, some people will defend themselves, only look at the situation through their eyes, or just pridefully ignore reality.  My mentor always told me to be quick to repent or humble yourself.  People do not realize the nature of humility.  In situation where maybe you were right or maybe your were wrong, if there is doubt, take the path of humility.  Admit that you were wrong, apologize for your behavior.  The last thing you want to do is fight for a wrong position.  I have noticed in life that rarely people will kick a humble dog.  If the dog turns on his belly, people will pet the dog, but a dog that comes fighting creates a fight.  In situations where the other party is wrong, be the bigger person and be the first to admit making a mistake.  It seems that some times people can never see any wrong doing at all.  It is always the other party’s problem.  Maybe some leaders see admitting a mistake as weakness, but I see it as strength.  People do not care about following a super strong leader, unless you are in a cult, but follow people with humble hearts.  This way you are approachable, you are loving, and people feel loved by you.  And you might even be shocked at how many people come to your rescue with love and forgiveness.  There is not much wrong in being wrong, there is just a lot of wrong in not admitting when you are wrong.
