Right Enough
In the discussion group for a course I’m currently part of I keep seeing similar comments. They are all along the lines of “Help, I don’t think I’m doing it right!”
I wonder how difficult it is to shake the messages contained in much of our schooling years, where we are drilled with the idea that there is one right answer, or way, for everything.
And, even when we discover that the world isn’t quite so simple; that things aren’t necessarily a binary right versus wrong; and that applying learned knowledge and skills to our own selves is as unique as each of the 7 billion + humans on the earth, it is still tricky to overcome our need to “do it the right way”.
Perhaps we could reframe our idea of right into:
Right for me
Right for you
Right for us
Right for now
That sounds right enough, don’t you think?
