## Caption

Think back to the last time you felt emotionally triggered. Someone said something that truly hurt you. The project you were working on failed. We feel a wave of emotion come over us when we feel triggered. It’s in that moment when we react instantly (probably saying something we later regret or making a fool of ourselves) or we take a moment to reflect. Whether we’re aware of it or not, that’s when we are choosing to engage or walk away.
.
In “The Art of War,” Sun Tzu explains, “he will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.” We live in a reactionary world where we act first and think second (if at all). But, as Tzu might argue, to win the “battle” you are facing, you must learn yourself and, therefore, learn which battles are worth your time and energy, before you act.
