We go to school and college, preparing for some day. We go to university preparing for some day. Whilst at school we may not know what we are preparing for. By the time we get to college or university we might have a clue of what it is we want to do in life, or we might not. Nevertheless we prepare for something. Then, we land a job, we work, and we get comfortable.
Today, I find myself questioning the comfort zone of life, and thinking to myself, should I be preparing again? Should I be preparing for some day? Life has shown me that it keeps changing, and at times life forces me to change. Therefore, I take this quote as a hint for myself to prepare for something for some day.
I hope it inspires you to prepare for something, for some day.
I will prepare and some day my chance will come.

A lovely quote Bella. I am currently preparing for retirement in a little over two years time. It reminds me of the quote “Fail to prepare, and prepare to fail. “

Exactly. We do have to plan or we fail. And we have to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. Do you think we can plan for the what we don’t know?
Glad you liked the quote

True will live in the present. But the preparation we do today makes a better tomorrow and I have seen that in my life. We have do some planning in life for tomorrow, whilst living full today. That’s my humble opinion.

can you please clarify what type of ‘preparation’ you mean … don’t think I’m really understanding what you mean

It could be anything. Like preparing for a career change, or preparing to save money. Or something that you can foresee that you may need in the future, but isn’t a reality today.
For example, I heard a story that Nelson Mandela ran 4 hours a day in his cell, because thought one day he will be freed and would become the first black president.
I hope that makes sense.

thanks heaps, light bulb went on … such things are automatic for me, hence I was missing your point sorry!
Those steps towards our goals are indeed essential 🙂

You are so lucky it is automatic for you. I find it harder as I get older and there are a few curve balls that just keep curving that make me feel it is hard to plan or prepare. But I still try.

persistence will pay off but I couldn’t have survived my nomadic lifestyle for decades if it wasn’t automatic

being adaptable does, having no home base makes one very self-reliant!
