Destiny is worth fighting for? The things that are most important in life often do not come without challenge or struggle.
Nobody likes to lose, but that doesn’t mean every conflict or struggle you encounter in life is worth a fight.
When we see something slipping away from our grasp, our instinct is to go into fight mode to protect and pre, serve what belongs to us.
A threat to our career means a fight. A threat to our home means a fight. A threat to our marriage or our health means it’s time to fight.
The willingness and readiness to fight off a threat is a healthy trait. But some situations simply are not worth a fight.
Sometimes a pink slip on the job is the best thing that could happen to boost your career advancement in another setting.
Rejection from a lover may pull the plug on a relationship that’s been on life support for too many years.
The repossession of the car you couldn’t afford may be your ticket to economic freedom and redemption.
At first, these kinds of Situations can stir you into fight mode. But fighting for something that is inconsequential in the grand scheme of your destiny can hold you back from attaining what you really desire.
On a deeper, spiritual level, survival may actually mean letting go of what’s been holding you back.
Very often, knowing whether it’s time to fight or let go is a matter of putting your ego in check and out of the way.
Let’s say you find out a guy named Rick is pursuing your girlfriend, the woman you’ve given four hundred different excuses as to why you two are not ready to marry.
But now that another man is trying to move in on your relationship, you’re ready to fight. Maybe Rick is the best thing for you and for your girlfriend.
Maybe Rick wants to marry her and give her the kind of relationship she desires. Maybe it’s time for you to get your ego out of the way and move on to your destiny.
Have you ever been embroiled in a fight and later realized that it was all about ego? How dare they terminate me? Who is he to break up with me?
They can’t talk to me like that and get away with it! Ego fights are often ugly, vicious, and unreasonable.
But when you fight for a true cause, like your destiny, you make reasonable and sound decisions because it’s not really about you.
It’s about your call to serve humanity. Conversely, when your fight is about ego, you can make all kinds of stupid, irrational decisions because the ego tells you that the only thing that’s important is you.
Sometimes we fight the wrong battles because of displaced anger. You can’t fight with your boss at work so you come home and fight with your spouse or your children.
You can’t fight with your spouse so you take it out on your church members and fight about meaningless, trivial matters.
You can’t fight the health condition or the financial downturn so you fight with the salesperson who won’t argue back.
Some fights you get sucked into are really other people’s struggles. People who are afraid of fighting for themselves can be masters at manipulating others into fighting for them.
Before you get ready to do battle, make sure you’re fighting your own battles for your own meaningful and worthwhile purpose.
Time is a precious commodity and it must be used carefully and judiciously. Your time is worth everything.
Time is your greatest weapon, so choose the situations and circumstances that are worth fighting for.
Don’t waste your time fighting meaningless battles. Meaningless combat won’t help your future. Invest your time where it matters.
On the way to Destiny, know that there will be battles to fight. Know that what you’re fighting for is worth it.
Your children, your marriage, your career are always worth fighting for, but even then, you may come to a point when you have to give up an active fight and just let God fight the battle for you.
