Join our Volunteer, Air Force Veteran, Peer Support Specialist, and Writer/Author Steven Bates filling in for Kim Gwinner TONIGHT for "Tuesday Topic!" edition of Warriors for Life (WFL) Online, sponsored and presented by Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV).
We are asking everyone to share who we are and what support that Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV) is providing via WFL. If you know someone who is a veteran, first responder or a family member/caregiver, please ask them to join us for at least one meeting so they can learn more about what we do and how they can share their wisdom with others who may be able to learn from them.

TONIGHT's Topic: "Picking Your Battles!"

"Life is like a game of chess, or so it was said by Allan Rufus, author of 'The Master's Sacred Knowledge'. "To win, you have to make a move. Knowing which move to make comes with insight and knowledge, and by learning the lessons that are accumulated along the way".

In this game of Life we play, we must learn to pick our battles, learn what sacrifices to make, which gambles to take, and what pieces are most important to us and which ones we can discard. Picking our battles is a key component to maintaining a healthy mental status as well. Do we get angry over every little item that causes distress? Do we anguish over all the details and get bogged down in the minutiae?"
Tips on How to Pick Your Battles

Picking our battles is vital to survival, so let's discuss how we determine which battles to engage in on Tuesday with the Warriors for Life Peer Support group! Let's do our best to win at this game of chess called Life!
