The Fight

Most People Go Wrong And Lose Their Fights

If you do not fight for what you want...

You will not get what you hope for.

That is something we know...

Even if we do not always fight for the things that we want in life.

But there is another side to this idea...

Of fighting for what you want.

See...

Most people are focused on the question of whether they should fight or not...

But that answer is simple...

Yes.

We should fight...

Otherwise, we will gain nothing.

But this is the wrong question, really...

And it is why so many people fight...

And still fail to get what they want in life.

So if that is the wrong question...

What is the right question?

The question should be...

When should we fight?

And how?

See...

So many people are ready to fight...

But they are fighting at the wrong times...

In the wrong ways.

The result...

Is that they are beaten in their battles.

They become overwhelmed...

They become blindsided...

They become outmaneuvered...

They lose.

See...

When you charge forward into a fight...

You become predictable.

People can see it coming from a mile away...

They can prepare...

They can create traps...

They can get better positioning...

And in the end...

They will win...

Because they actually thought about when they should fight and how.

See...

It is not enough to have the moral high ground...

Or the better reason...

Or more passion...

Or greater hope...

Or being louder...

Or even the greater numbers...

If you are not smart and wise about how you approach the fight.

Many times in history...

Stronger and better resourced armies...

Were routed and beaten...

By weaker and less resourced armies...

Because they failed to take their opponent seriously...

And they ended up regretting it.

They failed to understand the fight they were in...

And they lost.

But even further...

Sometimes the way to win the fight...

Is not to fight.

There have been many fights in history...

Where, by choosing to fight, one side lost...

And by choosing not to fight, the other side won.

Why?

Because often...

The fight itself is not really understood by everyone who is in it.

See...

Many people are in fights...

Without really understanding the fight.

They have been manipulated into believing their side is "right"...

And when they are fought...

They are more likely to believe that it is true.

But...

If you are being manipulated...

And suddenly you see the other "side" refuses to fight...

It reveals a different perspective about what people see as "right"...

And they may suddenly understand how they have been manipulated...

Sometimes for decades...

With the final result becoming...

The truth is revealed...

And the tides of the fight turn.

See...

Fighting is not the only way to win a fight.

How you choose to fight...

Often is far more important than people realize.

Choosing the right way to fight...

At the right time to create the largest impact...

Is key to winning a fight.

Archimedes said...

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

We do have the power to move the world...

To make incredible changes...

To challenge the broken norms...

And create something better.

But...

We need to use the right fulcrum and lever to move the world in this way.

To change the world...

We must understand when and how to fight.
