Damage Control

Damage Control

I'm back [after a medical leave] and before anything else, allow me to greet my readership a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS.  Hoping everyone will reap the blessings you deserve this Christmas.  Which brings me to our Christmas topic, more about this stuff called Damage Control.  Why do we need to spend time on Damage Control ?  Simple.  In our everyday life, damage will happen, in various forms and shapes.

if you are a seafarer, surely several times you experienced your vessel tilting on one side.  And if you've been driving, surely you had to struggle those moments when your car conks out for whatever reason.  And during those moments, things could easily turn from bad to worse.  Except if you managed to inject damage control.

But even before things bring us to a point of doing a damage control, it behooves that we be PREEMPTIVE in life.  By being preemptive, we tend to be predictive in anticipation of something that may likely happen.  And this is where we can avoid things from going from bad to worse.

Yes, to be pre-emptive means damage control really gets into our radar when it comes to our relationships with our loved ones, our partner/spouse.  Even with the slightest rough patch, that should trigger us to be pre-emptive because fixing things up front will likely entail lesser effort + time, not to mention the agony partners will have to go through.  When your issue is on financials, who wants the debt to be ballooning by leaps and bounds ?

When it's your health and well-being, your pre-emptive and proactive steps can easily save you unnecessary efforts, resources, time + sacrifices.  I can attest to this.  Two days ago, I decided to go through a pre-emptive medical procedure that caused me two hours to be on general anesthesia and in another two hours, I recovered.  Today, I am back on my feet, as if nothing happened. With no damage control, my recovery period could have spanned weeks.  Think about damage control in your life, PLEASE❗❗❗
