Strategize to overcome.

As we discussed yesterday: Problems are a given. Your response is the question.

The smartest move is to be ready before real problems arrive. The less prepared you are to face them, the more likely your particular problems are to expand, intensify, and repeat themselves. Isn’t that exactly what happens when you are caught in reactive mode?

So stay strategic. Prepare now to face problems decisively and confidently. There is no better feeling than prospering in the face of adversity. There is no skill more necessary and valuable to leading a deserving life.

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
