Pick your battles

“Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.”- Jonathan Kozol

Is life with others a constant struggle? Do you look at others with a negative eye? Do people in your life constantly go against you? Is it you or them? Do you go head to head with people all the time? Chances are you are struggling with something on the inside and you are taking it out on those around you – family, friends, and strangers. As you fight the fight, look at yourself in the mirror and decide, is it really them or really you. If you make everything a fight in life then you are always fighting. What are you really fighting about?

Affirmation – Say: “I will relax, make peace with myself and not make all issues a battle.”

Ask for Help!

It's OK to ask for help. People love helping. When I ask for help, I usually get it with a smile. I used to think of it as a sign of weakness but it's not! Even super heroes have their specialty and can't do it all! I also used to think, "People should see that I'm struggling and that I need help!" But, people live in their own world and see it from their view point. Not all can see it the way you see it. Next time, just ask for help!
