Be Prepared

By: Gabriela Yareliz

“You must always be prepared to place a bet on yourself, on your future, by heading in a direction that others seem to fear. This means you believe that if you fail, you have the inner resources to recover.”

I love the thought of “heading in a direction that others seem to fear.” This concept, with wisdom and discernment, has been a recipe for greatness, for being a change-maker. To bet on yourself means you trust yourself. It means you have kept enough promises to yourself.

Every day, we have the opportunity to build that trust. Every day, we have the opportunity to take steps toward that which others fear. Every day, we prepare and keep building the future. The future is built in the present.
