Not my battle..

On how we must choose which battles to take on

There are plenty of times in life where we find ourselves in the middle of a battle, be it, emotional, physical, or spiritual. Battles come in all shapes, sizes and ways.

TYPES OF BATTLES

Sometimes they are a personal battle that we must face; a battle that we have to come through alone.

Sometimes these battles are with ourselves. These ones are the hardest to deal with, because there is no escape. I have fought, and am still fighting many battles with myself, so trust me when I say that I know it’s not easy.

ALONE AND BROKEN

A lot of these battles have left me feeling alone and broken, and almost unable to carry on, but as I’ve pushed through them, I can honestly say that there’s not one that I regret.

The truth is, that even in my lowest moments, these battles taught me some very valuable lessons. In those moments when I thought I really couldn’t go on, I found a little reserve of strength that I didn’t know I had.

TWO BATTLES

This week, I have been fighting two battles that have caused me three sleepless nights, nightmares, anxiety and tension headaches. I’ve worried and agonised over these two situations.
