When do you bite your tongue or when do you speak your mind? When do you make a big deal or when do you just let it go? When is it time to confront someone and when is it not worth it?

It is hard to determine in the heat of the moment what to do. Our emotional mind jumps in and we want to react instead of taking the time to truly respond (with thought) to the current situation. 

One way I handle this is by asking myself, “Will this matter in 5 years?” 

Think about it. A lot of times we make a big deal out of small moments in our lives. Think about all the time, stress and anger you will save when you just think about how important something will be in 5 years. 

It really helps me create my reality and stop allowing others to affect my life that do not need to. 

Give it a try this week…
