The Hardest Thing To Do

I don’t know about you but the hardest thing for me to do is admit that I’m wrong.

I don’t think I’m alone.

The title of former NBA superstar and sports broadcaster Charles Barkley’s book is, “I May Be Wrong But I Doubt it.”

That kind of says it all.

Being wrong is a penalty we have a hard time accepting. But, even if we do accept it, we often can’t admit it.

For some, admission is a fate worse than death, because it’s the end of their pseudo omnipotence. Translation: They no longer can play god. 

Some folks will hint about being wrong. They’re the same kind of people who apologize with a justification. For them, full out admission gives way to the sin of omission.

What to do if this is you.

Start small. Find something that doesn’t pack the sting of admitting to a big thing and confess. It’s not only good for the soul but it’ll get you on a roll of admitting things.If you cheat at Solitaire, you probably won’t follow through and do the hardest thing to do. You’ll live with the lie  because you lack the courage to let your self-image die. 

“What will people think of me?” is the question we ask.

The answer is surprising. You’ll garner more respect by sticking out your neck and saying the words Fonzie’s mouth could hardly form: “I was wrrrrrronnng.”

All the best,

John
