How Does Being Petty Backfire on Us?

We are human so naturally, we are going to desire being petty at times. Most Life Coaches, Motivational Speakers or Mental Health Guru's would tell us to "rise above it". Often times we are left asking, "How?". Well, I do something very simple to help me rise above; I weigh the Pros and Cons of the situation. I ask myself, 'if I choose the petty route, will I miss out on something I may actually want?' or 'If I decide to be petty, could I mess up something that could have, greatly, benefited me?'. If I find that my answers are yes, I have to rethink my petty. Sometimes, it just ain't worth it! More than sometimes; often times, it ain't worth it! Thanks for listening. 1❤
