Being Prepared

We all have preconceived notions of what our day will or will not hold due to routine and rote practice, so much so that said actions almost become muscle memory. We sail through every day on auto-pilot until something happens that challenges our common circumstances and forces us into a position in which we must act immediately with little or no time to “think” about what to do, but only react proactively. One must be able to perform without panic and always with the most open mind possible.
