CHOOSING YOUR BATILE AND BATILEFIELD I 101

you're not living your life, then who is? If you're not going to think
about your life, then who will? You're here now, so give it your full
attention!
I often think of battles and battlefields in the sense of being
arenas. We all choose, to a certain extent I would hope, what arena
we are operating in, and what arena we'd like to be operating in. It's
about having goals and visions for achievement and fulfillment. It's
sometimes difficult to change circles, but it's sometimes for the
best.
We can be very much influenced by the people with whom we
keep company, and it's not easy to break with the pack or to do the
unexpected. It can be a solitary season or two before we get enough
momentum to expand our own circle, but eventually that can lead
to a very full arena of events and people you happen to enjoy. That's
very much like writing your own script and having it become one you
wind up enjoying watching and participating in.
Choice is a freedom we can all exercise. When I meet people who
live in certain waysbecause they like it, but which I know I wouldn't,
it reminds me of a menu at a restaurant - there's something for
everyone. And if there isn't, there's always another restaurant to go
to. It's also a good way to keep from being judgmental - as in, to
each his own.
