The battles we face in life are arranged on a continuum – from trivial at one end to crucial at the other. The middle ones are where the issue is important (though not exactly life and death), and standing up for one issue may mean compromising on another life priority or principle.

Self awareness is very important in these dilemmas. We need to know where exactly our meaning, fulfilment and joy lies and only then make our choices.

The battles we choose to fight or choose to let go are amongst the most important decisions in our life, with a strong impact on our success and happiness.

Unfortunately, we are more guilty of trivial battles than crucial ones, of wrong battles than right ones.

More often than not, we are unable to let go of trivial issues, and more often than not, we are unable to muster up the courage to stand up for crucial issues.

– Which battles have you picked up, and which ones have you let go?
– With the wisdom of insight would you choose differently if you were faced with them again?
