The ability to grin & walk away is one of the great keys to success and/or peace. We all know you have to pick your battles but you also have to decide which battles to even pay attention to, or let them flow from one ear out the other. Guilt used to hold me back in trying to defend myself but understanding you can’t make some people happy most of the time helps me loosen up. There are just some people who want to pick up a stick everyday and you have to be the one to pick up a branch and wave it in your direction instead. Grin & walk away because sometimes the best defense is just a few feet in the opposite direction.
