December 7, 2016: TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Battle Price

“A more peaceful way to live is to decide consciously which battles are worth fighting and which are better left alone.” –Richard Carlson
I’m sure I’m the only one who has sat on a customer service line for 30 minutes or more to correct a billing error or get a refund.
NOT!
My most recent experience had me realize I was spending $300 worth of my time to save $30. Insanely bad time management.
Similarly, there are people and events in our lives and workplace, businesses we frequent, and family and friends we will spend time with during the holidays that seem to always stick something in our craw.
Do we grab every opportunity to be right and support the justice of humanity? Only if we want to be a wreck.
‘What price peace?’ is a good question to keep asking ourselves in living every day as our best day.
Is this about rolling over all the time? Perhaps not. Perhaps there’s a battle that must be fought. And yet, not every one.
It’s been said that sometimes we need to lose the small battles in order to win the war.
Perhaps sometimes we need to simply let go of the small battles to enjoy peace of mind, body and spirit.
What battle can you release and forego today for the pricelessness of your peace?
Got battle price?
