Choose Your Battles

CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES

In life, choose your battles; resources are finite.

This is most applicable in relationships where people wrongly fight every battle.

It isn't wise to challenge every issue or correct every mistake, leading to arguments.

Energy, time, and peace are precious resources which don’t return the same way once they're spent.

Most battles don't need fighting.
Most points don't need being proved.
Most issues resolve themselves, with time.

Before engaging in arguments,
Ask whether it will matter in….

▪️10 minutes?

▪️10 months?

▪️10 years?

If it's a "no" for at least two, let it go.

Robin Coenen calls it the 10-10-10 Rule.

It's wise to remember: not every noise demands a response, and biggest victories do come from the battles we choose not to fight.
