Description
Life is always providing opportunities for growth and expansion. Sometimes that means being in the middle of the chaos and other times it is simply being a witness to it....
show moreOptions may include staying in the fight and battling it out; continue to be an observer to an uncomfortable situation; or walk away. The decision that needs to be made is - how much time, energy and attention do you really want to give to this situation/person?
The time, you will never get back. The energy can be draining or exhilarating – it’s based on perspective. And your attention could be utilized on something of more fun or beneficial. Any and all of it is your choice.
There is always something to be learned from the experiences and encounters with other humans. It’s a time to check in with yourself and ask questions, such as:
“Why am I getting triggered by this situation/person?”
“Why do I feel the need to fix this situation/person?"
“Why am I giving time, energy and attention to this situation/person?"
“How is this situation/person making me feel?”
The key is to know when to be invested in the experience and when to let go. Sometimes it's necessary to put up a good fight and stand up for what's important to us, but other times it's wiser to walk away and save our energy for another day.
In order to make the best decisions possible, we need to learn how to discern between the battles that are worth fighting and those that are not. This takes time, experience, and a lot of introspection, but eventually we all learn what works best for us. And during the process, remember to give yourself some ease and grace as you navigate the changes that are occurring within you.
Remember also that life is meant to be enjoyed. Even during times of hardship or difficulty, try not to forget that among the storm clouds are rays of sunshine waiting for you just over the horizon. Find joy in the little things and keep your heart open to the beauty that surrounds you.
It's not about winning every battle — it's about picking the right ones and utilizing your wisdom to move through it! So, choose wisely!
Wherever your journey takes you, remember that each step is part of a greater story — one which is full of potential, magic, and adventure!
May this conversation be beneficial to your life journey. Many blessings!
