Pick Your Battles

Published on 20 October 2024 at 01:22

It's hard sometimes when conflict arises, or misunderstandings and even disparity compel us to take action. 

Can you imagine, though, if we fought everything within ourselves didn't sit right? It's true that often not all things need our reaction.

We will be confronted with differing values and opinions regularly. We all have our own experiences, so not all perspectives will align.

What I've learned is it can be tiresome work to constantly voice or dispute differences, your own personal values aren't always defined. 

It is exhausting really to be relentlessly objecting to your own individual beliefs and notions. I find it's not fruitful to always pursue.

So pick your battles, even if there is injustice. Sometimes the most important person to know your stance and validate yourself is just you.

If you choose to be slow to respond, you may find you hear your inner voice say not this one. Learn to within yourself trust.

Sometimes savouring or releasing a relationship or avoiding extra conflict that could have a negative impact is more important, even if it feels unjust.

It's an evolvement, a growth and development that can create wisdom. It's unrealistic to think that everything should be left unsaid.

As you reflect, can you truly conclude that all the things you've voiced have evoked a positive outcome in the end? 

Savour your energy, for life's battles are large. Use your voice for the things that are going to create positive change and influence. 

Sometimes efforts can only lead to disappointment when we are met with unresponsiveness. Stirring the pot can to ourselves just be a nuisance.

Be intentional, sit in your own thoughts and emotions, and create room to listen to your mind, as you identify what is in your best interest to fight.

You are important and being kind to yourself also means creating boundaries in how you outsource your vivacity. It's not always about being right.
