Pick Your Fights

I listened to a buddy
vent about a certain ‘wrong.’
I sympathized with him
but when asked
what I was going to do about it,
I said ‘nothing.’

His reply to that?
‘To just stand there and watch…
How can anyone justify that?’

Easy…
There are larger wrongs
that I have more power to right
and I’d like to concentrate my energy there.

We can’t possibly right all the wrongs in the world.
We can’t launch all the products needed.
We can’t write all the stories needed to be written.

Concentrate on one or two fights.
When that fight is over
(successful or not),
THEN move onto the next one.
