I recently saw a commercial for World of Warcraft and in it contains this thought: "Asking why we fight is like asking why leaves fall from the tree. It is in our nature." This insight got me to thinking about why we fight in our lives. We are all fighters, it's just a matter of what we are fighting for. Those who say that they are "Lovers and not fighters" are only fooling themselves. We fight to be right, to be heard, to be loved, and to be accepted.
We get so stressed out when we are fighting for things to not happen in our lives. To many times we are fighting against the wrong things. We fight against poverty, against other peoples' opinions of us, or maybe against failure. The problem is that none of these things really matter. These battles raise our stress levels, take time away from loved ones, and take precious years off our lives. Plain and simple, these are not the battles that we should be spending our time on.
We expend all of this energy against stuff in our lives when we could be working towards the things that should really matter in our life.Working towards loving ourselves, accepting ourselves, and creating the life that we believe is successful. What people think of you, if others love and accept us or not, or if we are being heard or not doesn't matter. It's about how we perceive ourselves. When we concentrate on ourselves and those closest to us(kids, parents,close, time tested friends, etc.) and the rest of your life will start falling into place. We have to spend our time and effort taking care of ourselves. Improving our own personal space and creating a better life.
We quickly make decision to not fail and yet we procrastinate the decision to succeed. Take some time today and reflect about what really matter in your life. Stop spending time on unnecessary fights and start fighting for the things that matter the most.
