lose the argument.
yep, you read that correctly —
today, when you feel yourself on the verge of “crushing the ant” + winning an argument, pull back + cease fire.
get to know what it feels like to sit in contentment; to know that you’ve got an answer + that you don’t have to convince others to see it as the end all, be all.
you don’t have to be “right” all the time.
right + wrong are subjective, so seeing something from a certain perspective doesn’t make it absolute fact or fiction.
respectfully, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, to their own way of thinking + processing, + to their own set of beliefs.
give people the space to be “strong + wrong”, especially when they are convinced that what they are saying is tried + true.
foster a place of understanding with all of whom you encounter today; a common ground that appreciates + encourages free thinking.
we won’t agree with everything everyone says; however, we can acknowledge that we all have choices + how someone chooses to think is a reflection of their headspace in that moment.
it’s nothing personal, fam.
connecting with others requires our impartiality.
understand that accepting where someone is in the moment is not the same as agreeing with their position.
it’s not up to you, or anyone else, to convince people of anything.
live your life the best way you know how + give others their space to do the same.
it’s not about winning the argument, fam.
the true win is understanding that living life on our own terms is a birthright to us all + appreciating that perspectives will change when we are ready to embrace change.
be you, be dope!
