Sometimes You Lose Small Battles. You Lose Big Wars

I remember when one of my friend said that sometimes you lose small battles to win big war. And that remained in my head for some time. I didn't realized that life is one of the difficult concept that we have in our life.

And we realize that it doesn't let us have it the way we want. Like we may lose the small battles and we lose the big war too. We just have to work with what we can in order to move ahead in the journey of life.

So how does losing small battles also leads to losing big battles? Let's discuss.

You lose the momentum as you lose small battle

When you lose something and don't understand how. That momentum would shift to the bigger things. And the big battles slowly start to lose the direction as well. And in that case the best thing you can do is make sure that you have some sort of the momentum in your life. You have to understand that winning every small battle is how you should be making the progress. You have to focus on the next battle instead of the one you lost.

Your progress in big battle requires focus and past success too

---

Big battles have a huge price. Like you lose the small one but focus has to be on the big. As every small battle that leads to the big progresw would also be dependent on the past success. So you have to understand that making the most out of the current success is something you have to be putting more focus as well. Make sure to do something incremental and in small success. That direction is often something you need in order to build on that past success too.

You need to think big to win small at first

---

You may lose small battles you may end up losing big battles. But in the grand scheme of things you have to be optimistic because some of the odd random variables may turn into your favor. And that could be one way to make things work for you. Some of the time you have to think big and be optimistic about the overall flow of your actions. This way you would have much broader control over your potential actions and also the outcomes are some of the time predictable.

Conclusion

Not every outcome can be in our favor. And some of the time we have to adjust with the outcome that we can handle. So if we can take the effort and adjust as the change. Things would be rather much more in control. So do what you can build on the same.
