Know You Fought

"You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought." - Lauren Bacall, actor

I have always been good at fighting back. The problem for me was that I could never pick my battles appropriately. I've been taught that I don't have to go to every fight or battle I'm invited to - that made me think twice the first time I heard that.

When I read this quote I immediately think about my efforts in this life. It's my goal to always do the very best I can do. If I give my all, then the results don't matter. The results are up to a power greater than myself. That works best for me.

So, as I approach each day, I ask God for help, for guidance, and for strength to know when and where to focus my attention. Thank you God for always giving me exactly what I need when I need it.
