How many times have you watched people fight over the little things and wondered why. Why they couldn’t see that there was a simple resolution to things and that in the bigger picture, whatever it was didn’t really make a big difference. How much did you want to say to them that they could be spending their energy so much more effectively in seeing things and doing things a different way. And if they just compromised on this little thing then they could move on to bigger and more impactful things. How many times do you think others have wanted to help you see the same? How actively do you hold yourself to account on when and how you spend your energy, as opposed to allowing your emotions to take a hold of you and blow it out of proportion. Always take a breath, take a step back, and check in.. have you let this issue get bigger than what it needs to be? Have your emotional reactions taken over and started blinding you to what actually matters?
