Leaning Mule Palm a Problem?

Good Morning!

I have a mule palm that is slightly leaning. It is healthy. Don’t see any upheaval around the base of the trunk indicating roots coming up or depression on one side. 
So, is this something to be concerned about and if so a way to remedy? 
Thank you ahead of time.

    Probably not. Looking to acquire the most sunlight.

    Makes sense. To the left it is blocked. To the right is where the sun is most prevalent. Thanks. 

    Might be too late but people have remedied this by cutting fronds off the side you don’t want it to lean towards.

    Probably too late. As long as it is sturdy I don’t mind the lean. Just not tipping over!

    It's got character. Gangsta lean and whatnot.
