Changing The Filter

You can either spend your time trying to keep the filters from getting too dirty or spend your time replacing the filters after.

Similarly, for your mind, you can spend your time avoiding situations that affect your mindset or take the time to clear your mind after.

It's up to you to decide where you want to put your efforts in.

I don't believe it's one or the other.

Life is never black or white.

There's value in being diligent but there's also value in being flexible.

At my son's 6 year old birthday party, I could have spent my time hosing the kids off before they jumped in and out of the hot tub. Instead, I chose to let them have fun which allowed me to have more fun as well.

The filter needed to be changed anyways...
