(New Video Post) Pick Your Battles #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk to you guys about the power of “picking your battles”. I’ll admit that I am still learning when and how to pick my battles, instead of getting defensive, taking things personal and being quick to fight but my self love journey has been a big help for that. I was inspired to do this video from reading a quote that said,

“Arguing with people whose intentions are not to understand you, only to prove themselves right. You do not owe it to anybody to carry on a conversation that is only serving the ego, but you do owe it to yourself to step out of the inevitable frustration and self-doubt of interacting with people who don’t listen to understand, but to respond; who don’t speak to be heard, but to defend.” 

This quote put a lot of things into perspective for me because recently I’ve had to deal with a few people that were arguing with me for the sake of arguing and not to understand me. I had to step back and understand what was happening and why it wasn’t worth me putting my effort into and instead pick my battles wisely. Check out the video below on what I’ve learned about picking my battles.
