Ok..so as I get older, I feel like I am getting tired of trying to "defend" my position. I am usually very confident that when I make a suggestion - my way is the right way. But, lately I am learning I should hold my tongue lest I want to battle for that position. The battle is usually long since I have also noticed others feel the same about their suggestions and opinions. So, there are 2 strong-willed overly convinced souls pitting against each other. The balance I am referring is - while I am not giving up the notion that when I have an idea that it's a good one, nay, the best one...But,
it is about "what" I choose to expend my energy on in battle. Cause that's what it usually ends up being. A battle. I have heard that "anything worth having is worth fighting for". So, now, I ask myself if this thing that I have an opinion on ... is this is really worth having....
This, I think is the key to harmony and my balance...everyone say, "Wax on...Wax off". Not everyone agrees as to what topics are the most important...what hill they want to plant their flag and make their stand. Which hills to give up are the things I have learned I need to balance.
Don't bother arguing with me on this issue, my flag is planted! ;-)
