Wasting Less Energy

I feel that;

(Whether it’s pertaining to myself, world issues, and/or whatever it is about whatever),
The more I waste time trying to correct others who I see to have it “wrong”,

(Aside from the fact that I truly feel I’ll NEVER be able to fully change anyone’s deeply solidified firmly held beliefs..),

Essentially..,
The MORE energy I waste trying to “change” others,
The LESS energy I’ll use to further attempt experiencing the most meaningful life my potential may allow..,

Although I feel that NOT everyone who disagrees with me is “bad” or “toxic”..,
I guess(?) that one way I can (still) describe it as,
Is that;

All I can do is follow my truth,
while avoiding others who might force their “truth” onto me,
without ever realizing the limiting and damaging affects it’s TRULY having on me..,
..
because truthfully,
that might be too hard for their belief clinging and “needing to be ‘right’ about everything” egos to handle..(!?),

So I’d say,
That a better use of my energy could be,
To keep trying to AVOID trying to change others who are harmful for me to spend time around,
While continually attempting to build community among those who TRULY aspire in a similar direction of working to continually deepen an experience of a life we deeply agree is meaningfully possible,

And yes,
I certainly feel this is NOT easy,
I certainly feel to have failed constantly,
I certainly feel a need to remain more aware and safe from dangerous manipulative forces of hypocrisy,
in addition to continually attempting to avoid anyone who is straight-up damaging for me..,

Yet essentially,
May I waste less energy by fixating on those who “see it differently”,
While INSTEAD focusing more on further aligning myself with any forms of meaningful truth that (therefore) speaks deeper to me,

(While (for example) only focusing on any of those who disagree if (and only IF) any of them happens to be largely trying to control me and/or any I deeply care about (who I’m able to help) in ways that clearly damage and/or brutally limit me (and/or any of those I deeply care about (who I’m (therefore) able to help))),

So essentially,
As I’m trying to emphasize,
May I waste less energy on trying to change those who disagree,
While INSTEAD focusing on aligning myself with what I believe,
More and more fulfillingly,

And as always,
I’ll keep trying,
And as always,
Thanks for reading!!
