preparation

How much time do you think you need to be prepared?

Hmm, be prepared of what? Of anything.. To go to school, to meet up friends, to go to work, to attend a meeting, to attend a function, to go on a date, to rush to an emergency site, to face an unexpected situation, etc. Be it a planned event or unplan one.

Of course, to be prepared here not only talking about physically but mentally as well. To be prepared not only to for a happy occasion but for unhappy one as well. To be prepared not only to face the situation but to be able to handle it as well.

Sometimes, we thought we are prepared. But when facing the real situation out there, we are totally lost. We lost our focus, we lost our direction.

For every single day that passes by, are you preparing yourself today, for tomorrow?
Or are you waiting for tomorrow to come by, thinking you have time ahead to get prepared?
And until tomorrow comes by, only you realised that you are totally unprepared?

Sometimes, we tend to forget that time slips away unknowingly. So, always be prepared ahead of time, so that we are able to face it and react positively. Else, we will always trying to escape from the situation on hand, until someone else stops by and help us out. Till when can others help us, if we are not helping ourselves? Till when will others help us, if we do not help ourselves?

Preparation is not something that can be easily done in a second or two. Preparation takes time, until experiences take over. Till then, we have to always keep preparing ourselves. Arm ourselves with knowledge, rational thinking, emotional control.

Always be prepared, as we do not know what will happen next. Even if we may not be fully prepared for everything, but at least, we are ever ready to face our everyday life.
