Engagement

I believe it all comes down to what we consent to. If we don't align with, or embrace what people are trying to accomplish with their actions, intentions, or words, then don't engage with it. The moment we do engage, we consent to being part of it, we invite it into our life. We feed it with our energy, and attention, and give it validity, and vitality.

If you truly don't want something in your life, the only choice is to disengage from it. This takes a lot of self-control. You don't get to prove anything, and you don't get to win, or be "right" to the crowd, but you'll soon seen these "little fights" begin to vanish from your life
