Pick Your Battles

Battles are hostile meetings of opposing military forces in the event of war.It can also mean to contend against in or as if in a battle.To pick is to careful or judiciously select from a number of alternatives.

We don't fight every battle!There are battles we shouldn't fight.On the other hand,there are battles even when you don't feel like fighting it,you just find yourself fighting it.For some of us,we inherited battles,that we did not know about.We were born into the world,to find out that we are in a battle arena.As you grow up,you now realise how realistic these battles are.And what do you do,off course,you just can't chicken out or give up on life.You have to fight for life.The truth is whether you like it or not,we are in a battle field,and this battle is between light and darkness.Now wisdom demands that you pick your battles!

It's not everyone that is your enemy or rival.In fact some good friends come through in form of a rival,while some enemies come in form of close friends.This is where you have to be very tactful when handling cases like this.You would need the discerning of spirits to know which is which.Sometimes,we may be fighting our helpers without us knowing it.It could be that there are weaknesses we found out in such persons,and instead of us to look beyond the weakness,and ponder thoughtfully why such persons are in our lives in the first place,we proceed taking some decisions that we later realise we shouldn't have taken.Well,all hope is not lost yet!

Each relationship or alliance has an entry point.The point is always juicy and sweet.But as time goes,we would begin to see some loop holes.Yes,just like assets go through wear and tear,almost all relationships go through the same process.That is why there is provision for depreciation.Human relationship is like that.You need to work it out
At some point,it will go through wear and tear.You need to make provisions ahead of time.

Some of these provisions could just be knowing when to give up an argument,and learning to say I am sorry.It could just be reviewing what you used to do,and try to do them in a creative style.It could just be quiting from doing what the other person doesn't like and so on and so forth.These things are not easy to work out especially when it is almost like a lifestyle.This is the reason why we learn,and the reason why we should have an open mind.There's no time limit to this.You can start from where you are.We cannot hide from our real selves no matter how hard we try.

You know deep within your heart,there are relationships that are helpful to you.It may be experiencing some cracks,but you can still mend it.Sometimes,the people we think we don't need,are the ones we need the most.Don't be shy!If you need to put a call across do!If you miss some good friendship that are no more,you can reach out.It's never too late to reconnect.

I have learnt in my relationships not to close the door completely where there is a misunderstanding,in case I need to connect back.And I think it's something we can learn to imbibe.Once again,pick your battles!You become smart when you do so!!#Wisdom#Pick your battles#Reconnect#Smart.
