Pick your Battles

One thing I have learned over the years is simply that there are some battles in life not worth spending your time and energy on and there are some that must be fought.
I am not speaking in a literal sense here, I don't mean to refer to those life and death battles but more the battles of everyday life.  Deciding to jump into a business, allowing the public to see your art, expressing yourself through your writing or simply doing the work you were meant to do.
It is easy to get caught up in trying to juggle multiple projects and causes.  Sometimes when we get a bit of momentum we feel we can take on anyone and everything.  This is self defeating.  You owe it to yourself and your art, whether that is art literally or a business or a venture, to focus and be great at what you love.
Keep in mind we each are given 24 hours in a day, no more, no less.  It does not matter how wealthy or poor you are 24 hours that is it.  So don't try and take on too many battles in that 24 hour period, or you might end up losing them all!
