Very wise words.
I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. She smiled and said to me..
“I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.
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…
I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight…
And I started fighting for
my vision,
my dreams,
my ideas and
my destiny.
The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful and so much more content.”
Some fights are not worth your time….. Choose what you fight for wisely.
