A common phrase many of us here is to fight fire with fire. Why? As Benjamin Hoff points out in The Tao of Pooh, it's not effective. You should fight fire with water. This is a metaphor of course we need to consider its wider implications in our life. This is what I explore today and invite you to consider the areas of your life where you've been fighting fire with fire instead of water. Also, I discuss how sometimes we get caught up in battles that aren't worth fighting for. This is problematic because there are so many issues actually worth fighting for in life. I'm not here to define those for you, but I find most times the things we get caught up in, don't even align with what we truly care about. So have intention with the battles you select. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Green Millennium, The by Fritz Leiber (1910 - 1992) LibriVox From the classic science-fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber comes this intriguing tale of a green cat. From the author's introduction: "The world Phil Gish lived in was not a pretty one, and Phil didn't enjoy living in it. He was disillusioned, purposeless, hopeless, and haunted by the fear that a robot would take over his job. But then Phil was a timid person, not much given to adventure seeking. If he hadn't been so mild he might have found his kicks at All Amusements, the syndicated playground where anyone could find fun, providing he had the proper sadistic and otherwise aberrated elements in his personality. But Phil was good—and bored.And then one day a cat perched on his window—not an ordinary cat—a green cat. For the first time in years Phil was happy. He promptly named the cat Lucky because he somehow knew that as long as the cat stayed with him he'd feel fine. But Lucky didn't stay long. In a matter of minutes he had disappeared into All Amusements park. It Phil Cruise Cast Philip Suarez A short and entertaining podcast for the latest cruise news and reviews from the UK Dear Phil Liz and Lucy Gnoh Productions/SRN Mediaworks Dear Phil Liz and Lucy is a series of "letters" recieved by staff from listeners; okay, it's actually a parody of the "heartfelt" letters radio and television stations get which really don't make sense.
