    I'm a fighter. I've pretty much been perpetually fighting since 1995. I can hardly remember a 2 week stretch in 22 years where I wasn't fighting for or against something. It was just this past year that I learned that a lifetime of fighting created a few painful pathologies...

        Fighters fight. To a hammer, everything's a nail. And I operated with that philosophy for most of my life, knowingly or not. Just this past year I finally realized that sometimes the world did not me me to fight in every moment, it might need me to think, or love, or chill.

        Right now I see a lot of fighters fighting. And I get it. That's my tribe. Always will be. I'll be fighting again soon, but I encourage you to rest, train, recoup, learn, then fight. If you fight 24/7, you will absolutely run over good people, even loved ones, in the process

        Self-care is essential. Be good to yourself so you can heal & keep on fighting too.

        I find that incessant fighting is usually the case of being perpetually attacked, it is self-defense. What I mean is sometimes it can hardly be helped

        It's a hard lesson to learn, but you need to eventually figure out when to fight and when to not.

        I was told this about myself in a leadership analysis study: My destructive trait was: Win at all costs. Notice how I said “was”... Got tired of the collateral damage so I pick my battles carefully now.

        May I recommend mindfulness meditation. It's made a works of difference for me. The Calm app is amazing.
