Of course. That's actually a bit of advice my mom gave me a long time ago. We choose which battles we fight. We can either react, or not. It's up to you to choose how you react to various situations. Either you fight it, or you don't. Some battles aren't worth fighting. With time and experience we learn which battles are worth our time and which ones aren't.

You pick your battles by determining which ones are worth the fight.Not every battle is worth my invested emotion to the point where I feel the need to defend it or stand-up for it,sometimes you may have to analyze the situation look at where the source is coming from.....is it a reliable source? and then determine if it really applies to you and if it does to what point?The point to battle or not?

I do try to pick my battles. I weigh what's important to me, and what's not. Most things, after careful scrutiny, turn out not to be really worth fighting over. Why waste energy fighting over trivial issues? That leaves me with a relatively small list of things that I'd actually consider fighting over.

Think about the consequences of the argument. Are they worth it?
Make sure the argument is going to solve something
Ask yourself, "Is it really a big deal?" Chances are that it's not.
Parents have to learn that. I am still learning to pick my battles.

It's easy enough like Bush picked Iraq instead of Iran. He thought he was getting a chump. but he almost bit off more than he could chew. And he lost a lot off teeth doing it. He should have picked a little oil rich weak country like Kuwait. Then some pick us so we have no choice. BB

Yes. If I know there is no way that I can win the argument then I won't waste my energy trying. For example, if my parents tell me to take my brother to a friends house, even if I don't want to, I'll do it anyway because I know I can't get out of it, and will just get in trouble if I try. If I think I have a chance of winning I'll try.

My mom tells me this all the time. . .choose your battles. I try to . . .especially with my children. My son is 6 years old and love his heart, he is into this shaggy hair style. . .I would love to get it cut into just a normal boy (old-fashioned, lol) haircut, but it isn't worth the argument, lol. I can still see his eyes and some of his ears, lol. . .and he is still a cutie. I am sure there will be something bigger than hair to argue with him about one day.

You do it bylooking inside yourself and asking....."What are my core beliefs?"......when its a question of your core beliefs you fight until the bitter end..... if it isnt domething you would define as one of your core beliefs you simply state your opinion but dont argue to try and influence the outcome....You might ask what do you get out this......I have found that since I adoopted this approach my wife and I spend many more nights doing the diorty deed...and many less nights fighting over things that really arent that important

I try but sometimes don't succeed. Sometimes I battle out of reflex.
