Here's Richard Carlson, keeping it real with one of the most basic, fundamental rules of living a happy life:
“If you want to be a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.”

Indeed, since hearing this from him, many years ago, this simple aphorism has stuck with me to such an extent, that I’ve learned to really question things whenever I feel cross about something.
Because being cross is synonymous with ‘being right’ and I know that ‘being right’ is a barrier to happiness.
It works most of the time… except for when I'm so righteously angry, I don’t spot it.
