pick your battles it's a common phrase that people use every day and in fact it's a really great tool when used correctly there are times that it is not worth it to engage over certain things and we should pick our battles um there's times where it's just it's really like I said not worth it it's too small of a thing or it's really unimportant and yet we feel like we need to be right but it's the time to let it go and move forward however pick your battles can also be used as an excuse it's not always a tool sometimes we use that phrase to get out of things that are uncomfortable for US ah I'm just picking my battle it's not something I really need to tackle but sometimes you're picking your battles and not taking on something that's tough something that's outside your comfort zone something that's really important and needs to be addressed and you using pick your battles as an excuse so next time you're thinking I'm going to pick my battle ask yourself this question is this a tool and I'm letting go of something that I really should let go or am I using this as an excuse to not handle something that's out of my comfort zone tough but really important and needs to be addressed [Music]
