Focus on crossing the swamp, try to avoid alligators on the way

The other day I was reading a beautiful quote which said that today my goal is to swim and cross the swamp and not fight the alligators inside it. Similarly we have to choose battles in our life that we want to fight in a day in a week in a month and in years to come. When years are combined it will become an lifetime. So you have to constantly fight battles. It is inevitable that you have to trade through this unbelievably complex world which is actually rigged against you. Your main job is to play the best game with the cards that are dealt to you.

Because you cannot change the systems in place in a country, you cannot change the culture, the traditions which have been for centuries, the cannot control the uncontrollable which are abundant everywhere. Hence you need to diplomatically wade through the system and win small wins everyday in the direction of a bigger purpose and be very mindful of the evil. Fight the evil only if it is hindering your progress. First check if you could bypass and ignore it. Next check if you could change it. Next if you cannot change it, then accept the situation and adopt yourself accordingly.
