BATTLING JOE’S JEANS: NOT A WISE ENDEAVOR.

By TrishBlackwell on January 21, 2012 in Blog, Meaning

One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was a pair of Joe’s Jeans, except that they didn’t fit me.  They were too big.  I returned them for another pair, except that the company was out of my correct size.  So I waited a month to reorder what I expected to be my perfect pair of jeans.  My perfect jeans came in today, and disappointment set in when I realized that they were now too small and the wrong design of Joe’s.   To go along with my frustration, my second favorite Christmas gift was a pair of boots, of which I also found out this morning were the wrong size, for the second time.

 

For a short moment this morning I allowed my frustration over two simple material things win.  It took a few minutes before I consciously realized that I was wasting my morning and my own energy over the wrong battle.  Choose your battles wisely in life.  Don’t allow trivial frustrations to win over your attention when it’s not a battle in which you need to engage.   Let the small stuff go and save your energy for the things in life that actually matter.
