LETTING GO

"Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win."
*JONATHAN KOZOL*

The flip side of "don't sweat the small stuff" is fighting for the things we care about.  At the same time, we should try to avoid battles we have absolutely no chance of winning.

In general, things that help us be the person we most want to be are the things worth fighting for.  Those that don't have much impact - or that may even detract from our best self - need to be let go.

Of the possible battles I may face today, which really matter?  And of those that matter, which will make the biggest difference if I fight them?
