By reflecting, instead of reacting.
I wrote a letter to the owners of a company because it gave me time to reflect rather than attend a meeting facilitated by the management, because I felt I might end up saying something, by reacting too quickly, that I will later regret.
I wrote a letter to try to ‘right’ a ‘wrong’ that hopefully the reader will also reflect and will respond in a positive and beneficial way.
Most of the way through today and I’ve either not been paying attention or I haven’t found a wrong to right in my immediate space. Obviously there are bigger issues out there in the world but I don’t have the mettle to seek them out. Maybe the question is a bit polarised. Often things are not one or the other.
What “wrong” can I “right” today?
By not responding to Unconscious behaviour with anger, revenge or any other Unconscious behaviour.
I can “right” by using Rational thinking and not calling anything “wrong”. The truth will ultimately prevail because it is the Divine Plan and I am here to serve it, not judge it.

love your response,
dear Ed…
The wrong I can correct is one I hope we all do.
It is to live without judgment, and in honesty and sincerity.
Living in integrity grants a person a lot of peace.
This will go a long way to prevent wrongs so we don’t have to correct them afterwards.
Our consumer culture has done so much harm to Mother Earth and Father Sky, and if we are not careful, karma will come back to bite us. Today, I set my intention to live sustainably and simply for the rest of my life, and I also intend to teach others to live in harmony with the Earth, Sky, and Nature.
A wonderful intention. I pray every day for God’s planet – we have done so much harm. But there’s still hope.
Totally agree! I think a degree of asceticism and separation from material possessions, to a survivable degree, is called for on our part, honestly.
The day is young....I may come up with a wrong I can't immediately set right as the day progresses. There are many wrongs in the world, but besides envisioning what they would look like if they were righted, I have little control from here. Most things are none of my business and I trust a higher wisdom to sort them out. I AM responsible for the things I CAN change. My prayers are always to be given the wisdom to know what is my work and what Source is handling fine without me. I must rememb...
The day is young….I may come up with a wrong I can’t immediately set right as the day progresses. There are many wrongs in the world, but besides envisioning what they would look like if they were righted, I have little control from here. Most things are none of my business and I trust a higher wisdom to sort them out. I AM responsible for the things I CAN change. My prayers are always to be given the wisdom to know what is my work and what Source is handling fine without me. I must remember I have a mortal mind and can see only a tiny part of the whole picture. I’ve learned, too, that just because I can see “what should be done” does not guarantee that is the correct next step. Life is extremely complicated in the manifestations of its simplicity.
Coffee necessary at the moment. I’ll start there. Thank you all for being out there, a valued part of my connection. I am grateful.
In rereading this I ask myself…..ARE there many wrongs in the world, or is that perception only mine?

When I am aware I can notice when I act out of harmony with my true self and I can correct that. I can act for the highest good. It could be “wrong” to act otherwise.
Any wrong I choose to, starting with the choice not to.
I will need to give this some thought. My personal way of being in the world is to address the wrongs that come across my path now and then as they happen. I’m not a crusader or firebrand type of individual who takes aim, for example, at a social ill and then sets a course to “right” it. Besides, at 4:15 in the morning, it’s hard to find anything to get worked up about! By nine this morning I may have a list.
