Get Ahead of the Game

Getting through the motions is always awful. Getting caught, especailly with our guards down, leaves us distraught and devastated. And will leave us wishing Life will be kind and eat us up. But hey! how did you get here in the first place?
You see, Life asks its questions way ahead of time. Unfortunately, the many things that (we allow to) clutter our life hardly give room for us to prepare our answers way ahead. And Life will strike with its calamities, hurts, let-downs, losses, frustrations, pains... when we least expect.

Taking five minutes everyday to reflect on the basics will be a very helpful starting point.

Why do we always rush into our days? Who ever said we were best suited for going around in circles? We won't be helping ourselves one bit if we don't sit with ourselves and determine what is good for us and what we are good for.
Make honest assessments of yourself. Don't underestimate your frailties , neither overestimate your abilities. Either way, you will be an easy prey for Life. Self assessments are simple ''What can I take and what can I not take?'' questions that bother on character, integrity, will and reputation. It spills over to 'What am I living for and what can I leave all for?'' These questions will lead you to find your purpose and destiny in this life. Without any known purpose for your life, anything and everything that Life unleashes will get to you.

Next stop, you need to throw some weight behind your self-confidence by adding a God-confidence. The truth here is this: our strengths are by themselves very fallible and will always lead us to the gallows that Life will put before us.
Getting a head of the game, is serious business hunters will testify. It requires some serious planning and real strategies. Our tactics will have to be able to detect danger afar off. And deal with same in the now before they occur.
It's about an insurance policy that will idemnify you ahead of Life's tests, trials, tribulations and turmoils. Remember this: you will always have to bear up under different weights. And you will only survive if you will sit down today and determine what things you allow get to you and what things you will have to bulldose your way to get to.
Plan, Prioritise, Project and Push for the prize-the head of the game. Manage distractions and keep your focus. Get to work in the know, forget the how. The how can only be seen in hindsight long after you've worked it.
Really, you will survive. Get started on the task at hand. Don't allow Life give you the creeps. Respond to its threats-never react. Step out today with the goal of getting ahead of the game. And watch as Life's threats crumble before you in packs.
