Some Battles Aren't Worth The Fight

"You only live on this earth one time - don't be miserable doing it." - Sue Ann Cordell

I hope your week is off to a great start!

Have you ever found yourself exhausted from fighting too many battles?

Here's a story that might change your perspective.

One secret to success is deciding that some battles aren't worth fighting.

The story below is about a young woman who asked a very successful woman to share her secret with her. She smiled and said:

• I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me.

• I stopped fighting with my in laws.

• I stopped fighting for attention.

• I stopped fighting to meet people's expectations of me.

• I stopped fighting for my rights with inconsiderate people.

• I stopped fighting to please everyone.

• I stopped fighting to prove they were wrong about me.

And then she said, I started fighting for:

• My vision.

• My dreams.

• My ideas.

• My destiny.

She finished her conversation by saying,"The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful and so much more content."

This is such good advice; let's choose our battles wisely.
