Of Timing and Preparation

"There is an advantage in every disadvantage and a gift in every problem."
~ John Johnson

1. Have you ever had times when you say to yourself: "If I had acted sooner, I'd have gotten what I wanted"? I'm sure you've had quite a number.

We usually blame it on the timing of the situation. When we least expect it, something is bound to happen to us in some effort of ours. Or worse, we know it will happen, but we didn't take the necessary action till it's too late. And then we regret and complain and gripe and so on.

The key is: don't wait for the "right time". There really is no such thing as the RIGHT TIME. Because if you keep waiting for it to come before you take action, you may already have missed it. Instead, make it happen. Don't let wasted days and wasted nights go by.

2. To develop endurance you must go uphill. It's quite a challenge to do so, isn't it? But that's why they say that. It's because the uphill journey flexes your muscular strength down in the legs, as well as keep you fit when it comes to going up.

Sure, it's difficult. But who said the climb up is easy? Every mountaineer will have something to say about their ascents; narrow escapes from death being the most common topic. There are always bound to be difficulties, but do remember this: when you climb the "mountains" in Life, it helps us climb the next ones higher and faster. They prepare you for what's to come.

Don't walk away from it. Instead, embrace it!
