Living A Life Of Readiness
In life, challenges do not give you prior notice before they come, neither will they give you time for you to get ready. So live a life of readiness. More so, life may not play out as you have expected it to, so you should brace for impact. You should know that every moment of life counts and should not be taken with casual approach.
Most times, the things that people take with casual approach are the things that will matter most to their lives in the future. The truth is, most of what you say "it doesn't matter" are things that matter much. A friend of mine once said that "the people that take the serious things of life casually may end up as casualties." This is just to explain that life should not be seen as a fun fare.
More often than not, it is what you do with the first moment and how you utilize it that will indicate how the rest of the moments will be. It is no doubt that we should always hope for the best. Obviously, that is what we have been taught to do - to be optimistic at all times. However, you need to live ready for anything that comes. If you only hope for the best but you are not prepared for other things, if they happen, you will be taken unawares.
The reason people get cracked by their challenges is because of the lack of preparedness to face the challenge. You should understand that you cannot stop challenges from coming even if you want to. Note that no one will ever guarantee you that challenges will not come to you, except you want to believe in lies. So do not put your expectations on false hope. Just know that challenges will come. The knowledge of this will give you the zeal to live ready.
When a soldier is trained, he will be empowered before the day of the battle and he will be taught how to use the combat weapons. If he waits till the day of battle to begin to learn how to use the weapons, he may not make it through the battle. A good soldier should get him ready for the day of battle. Similarly, in life, you should live a life that is ready for challenges.
No matter how a soldier is taught about the usage of weapons, he will need to use the weapons himself during a combat scenario. In the same way, no matter how you have been motivated, the major responsibility rests on you to take the actions yourself to face your challenges.
It is worth noting that anything you want to achieve, there will always be some required responsibilities you need to fulfil. So you must show the readiness to fulfil such requirements in order for you to achieve that particular thing. Furthermore, the result of your life is entirely dependent on how well you have taken the responsibility of your life. Note this: what you do with the gift of life is your own gift back to life.
