Be Prepared

The more prepared you are, the more likely things will go smoothly and you’ll succeed in whatever you are doing.

If you’re going somewhere, you’re better off if you pack a few days before and get your admin and tickets all in order in advance too.

Back to school? Get the clothes you need as well as books, pens, bag, notebooks and devices that will help you succeed. Start looking for these in advance and you may get some deals!

A prepared mind and body will usually make you more successful at every turn. The compound effect of this can be quite astounding.

Play With What You Have

Sometimes we don’t have all the resources we would like or that others may have. For teams, sometimes a key player is injured or unavailable.

This hit home Monday when I spent the day watching my son Ryker playing with his school rugby team at a major festival. There was a comment made that they didn’t have all their players. The idea seemed to be that they may have done better with more players as there would be fewer tired players, injuries could be rested a bit more and some would have relished the higher level they played at.

I thought that could be true. Their chances of overall success may have been improved. But then I remembered another key player from another team who was still on the injured list since we played them a few weeks ago. What if all the other teams had all their players or more players or their better players?

Life can be quite random. Sometimes it works in your favour and other times it does not. So, play with what you have and do your absolute best with that.
