    NOT MY CIRCUS, NOT MY MONKEYS
    Inspirational Life Philosophy Button
    This listing is for a 1.25" button with the Polish proverb "Not my circus, not my monkeys.'
    What does the Polish proverb mean? You are not the ring master of this … disaster, mess, ball of confusion. The problems/ monkeys aren’t from your show. You are just an observer - it’s not your job to fix it. It’s a different spin on a common attitude. ‘Don’t try to repair what you don’t own.’
    It’s not your job to fix it.
    It's none of your business; indicates that one is not responsible for controlling or changing a volatile or delicate situation. Especially when someone springs it on you and says that you have to fix it, that if you don't fix it nobody will, and that it's all your fault what will happen if you don't fix it!
    Wear this button while walking away from someone else's fight, while leaving the spilled milk alone, or while declining the priceless opportunity to do someone else's emotional labor for no reward.
