## Resource

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore one of the most dangerous traps our minds can fall into: the need to be right. Sparked by a heartbreaking real-life tragedy, Keven examines why being wrong can feel like a threat to our very identity, and why our brains are often wired to defend our beliefs rather than seek the truth. We dive into the psychology of cognitive dissonance, the “backfire effect,” and why our egos often mistake disagreement for danger. Along the way, we explore Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and Carl Jung’s teachings to uncover why real transformation requires letting go of old certainties—and why that can feel so terrifying. We also discuss how careers, businesses, marriages, and friendships can all quietly crumble when pride takes the driver’s seat, and why humility isn’t weakness—it’s freedom. This week, before your next disagreement, ask yourself: Am I protecting my values… or my identity? Would I rather win the argument… or protect my peace? Because sometimes the greatest victory isn’t proving you’re right—it’s having the wisdom to walk away. Have a beautiful week, Kweenz. We’ll talk shawtly.
