CHOSE YOUR BATTLES OR PROBLEM
“Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn’t measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It’s not winning battles that make you happy, but it’s how many times you turned away and chose to look in a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.” — C. JoyBell C.
Choosing your battles means being selective of the problems, arguments, and confrontations that you get involved in. Instead of fighting every problem, you save your time only for the ones that matter. This means fighting the most important battles and letting go of the rest.
