Way to Go!
 |
| Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines - 2013 |
Today, take stock of where you are in life. Look around you, do you see a piled up heap of garbage in the corner of your room? Are there unwashed dishes in the sink? Have you been putting off getting rid of something that has outlived its usefulness you no longer need but haven't done it yet?
Do it.
Preparation is the order for today and none of us are truly prepared for anything until, of course, a disaster happens to show up on our front door.
How convenient, for the disaster but how inconvenient for us.
Preparation is a disciple of discipline. In order to make headway in life one needs to be prepared. Where do I want to go? What do I want to do? How will I get there? These steps are all part of getting you from point a to point b and these steps work well in good times as well as bad.
Make Preparation a Way of Life.

Prepping

| Boy Scout Motto, "Be Prepared" |
Organization, what is it? Well, it's a method by which you get the clutter out of your life, get your act together, your life together and create a baseline from which to start planning for your future. You can't make intelligent decisions when you're head is full of a zillion things and you're tripping over everything. And, being organized can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.
These last few months the urge to go through things, sort things, discard things that I don't need anymore, sell or give away is nagging me. And I'm finding that my friends and neighbors feel the same way I do and are getting rid of stuff.
When these thoughts come at me and won't leave me alone, there's a reason why so I stick with the task until it's done. These days there's no telling what's going to happen anymore, what's just around the corner that will catch us off guard unexpectedly and leave us helpless. So it's best to be cognizant of this and plan accordingly, as best you can. A plan, no matter how small is better than no plan at all.
Keep your gas tank filled, stock up on bottled water, canned goods and other necessities. It doesn't hurt to have a sleeping bag, a small hand held radio, a couple of pillows, a med kit and energy bars in the trunk of your car. Have a map of the roads near your home or apartment and a plan to exit the city or town where you live, if you need to make it to friends or relatives.
Get Prepared. Be Prepared. Stay Prepared.
There's a lot of craziness going on in the world right now.
