Fighting is useless if you’re not gaining ground. It wastes time, energy and resources for nothing in return.

Before you fight — be it in life, relationships or business — have a cause or objective in mind.

Be very aware of what battle you hope the fighting will win — what change you’re hoping to make.

Otherwise, it’s simply fighting for the sake of fighting.

And, when you fight just to fight, nobody walks away victorious — it becomes a race to the bottom. Who can run out of time, energy and resources first?

I encourage you and myself to highlight the battles in our lives that are missing an objective and lay down our arms.

One day these one minute writings will be a big book called “One Minute, Please.” Can I let you know when that day comes?

You can say yes, here.
