W.I.N. Wednesday: Learn to be indifferent.

“Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.”

Marcus Aurelius

Jumping on every bandwagon seems to be a new sport these days fueled by the endless social media commentaries. As former Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius apparently stated, “Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.”

Some people have developed the ability to choose their battles, while others just seem to like find battles to jump in on or start.

If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority. After a while people will simply see you as the boy or girl who cries wolf all the time and will tune you out if the topic is important.

Learn to pause before you speak or leap. Ask yourself, “Is this really important?” “Is this worth commenting on?”, “Is this worth fighting over?” If it is, then stand up and speak up. If it is not, then sit down, be quiet and move on.

Sometimes you just need to heed the lesson from your dog and kick some grass over that shit and move on.

What’s Important Now? Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.

Take care.
