Happy Monday

"Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn't measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It's not winning battles that makes you happy, but it's how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go." ― C. JoyBell C.


I always wake up on Monday saying... Happy Monday. Because sometimes the day isn't very happy at all, so it helps to start the day with a positive attitude. And what is even better is learning to maintain that positive attitude when you really don't want to. And I'm grateful I woke up saying Happy Monday to myself because it wasn't a good morning at all. Me and my manager had a small disagreement where he was saying I was wrong about something, and I knew I was right. I wasn't going to back down from that view, because I had done my research and I knew that I had to make a stand. So after awhile, I just stopped saying he was wrong and I assumed that eventually the truth would come out. Well it did come out, and he offered me an olive branch as a sign of forgiveness for chewing me out. It didn't bother me that I was chewed out, or even him saying that I was lying and that I was wrong. What meant more to me than anything was standing my ground.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

That was the phrase that I kept saying after the disagreement with my manager. Of course, I was angry and upset... I didn't want to be called a liar. But I also didn't want to seen as wrong on an issue that I had researched myself. And it was because I had done my research that my actions were able to be seen as louder. Simply trying to convince others is a waste of time and energy, my actions can only tell the truth. So I finished my afternoon bike ride, so now I'm just writing this blog and thinking about the future. And how today was just the first of many days to come where I will have to be silent and my actions will have to do all the talking.
