ARE YOU READY?

I know this question kind of relates to sport or athletics but this is a general question we need to ask ourselves from time to time. We get ready for unforeseen circumstances or future endeavours and that is majorly why we need to plan ahead.

Life sometimes can be unfair, our plans may derail and crash on our face but don't give up buddy, get ready for another phase. Another day, another opportunity is what I grew up with. I was told if today doesn't work for us, tomorrow may. Just check what went wrong today and be ready to correct it tomorrow to get the result we have always wanted.

Look at weekends, how short they are. If we don't prepare for Monday and be ready for the new week, we discover we make lots of mistakes during the week. Procrastination is the major challenge to our readiness. Imagine a worker that resume at work as early as 7am in the morning every Monday and he refuses to do his laundry, iron his work uniforms till Sunday evening. Definitely, he has put himself under undue pressure. Stress sometimes come out of procrastination.

Are you ready is quite synonymous to have you planned. Planning saves stress, money and undue pressure. Just as the saying goes:

If you fail to plan, you have planned to fail.

Let's cultivate the habit to plan ahead so as to achieve our goals. We can get a journal or diary to highlight what we plan to achieve in a week and at the end of the week, we check out how well we have done. A worker that refuses to plan his salary before it comes will end the month with debts.

As a job seeker, are you ready for the job hunt ahead? As an employee, are you ready for the work ahead? As a Steemian, are you ready for the posts ahead? As a trader, are you ready for the kind of customers coming in? When you are ready, you don't get surprised at whatsoever that happen because you have actually prepared for it. My father do say, prepare for failure and success but lean in to success because you attract what you believe in. Planning for failure doesn't mean you will fail, it simply makes you motivated NOT to fail.

Today is Monday, let us plan and be ready for this new week. It will be favorable for us all. I remain @tori93 and I hope this will motivate us all.
