Well have battles, Right? Yes, we all do. Everyone’s life is filled with chaos, conflict and confusion and battles. It’s just how it is. We learn to deal with it as we grow. Show me someone who’s never had any serious battles in their life, I’ll show you the most boring person in the world… someone who’s never dared to live for anything worthy.
In a nutshell we are all battle fighters, but the difference is on which battles are you fighting. Some people make it business to fight battles that never belong to them. Don’t be like them.
Don’t waste your emotion and intellect fighting for someone else’s highly-emotional, semi-logical ego battles. Whether it’s business or politics or religion (or family-friends un-ending battles). There are endless battles that present themselves and you are enlisted, recruited and pressured by friends, colleagues, and peers to join & get involved. Some of these battles are not necessarily worth joining .
Its good to make a stand, to create change as long as you don’t might end up putting your own dreams and ambitions on hold. See, you can’t fight two battles at the same time (at least not for long). You can’t fight for someone else’s goals all time and achieve your own success at the same time. Even if your missions seem related, you have to reserve a big percentage of strength for your own goals and life battles. This is not being mean or rude but it means giving yourself time to put your life on a position able to pull others consistently .
Dan Wald once said that : “The emotion and energy you have to offer in a fight are limited resources. Perhaps more limited than you might expect” and it’s so true.
You have to pick your battles or risk losing the fight. That’s not an excuse for being selfish ,complacent, arrogant, needy, conniving, manipulative, or lazy. It’s just a reminder. About a simple fact; Self Evolution first, guarding yourself like the heart selfishly and safely knowing your well being determines how other parts survive.
You dreams might be infinite, but the limits of your body and mind and creativity are not. Take care of what you have, fight violently when the cause is worth it, make sure you are fighting for you — first. No one else has your back like you do. No one cares as passionately about what you care about like you do, so fight – but fight your battles first.
You’ll be stronger to fight for others later when that’s the right decision.
Namaste!
