Is Your 'PADDLE HAND' Always Ready ?
We may not be either a rower or a table-tennis [ping pong] player but nevertheless, who says our 'PADDLE HAND' shouldn't be ready most of the time anyways ? In fact and in truth, the 'PADDLE HAND' is our #1 basic tool more than the sum of all parts [when referring to our competencies and skills] because the 'PADDLE HAND' either initiates or responses to events that happen 'on the fly.'Hmmm, we won't dabble into physics here but briefly, to have your 'PADDLE HAND' ready, two key force and pressure matters most and to top it all, it's the timeliness of your 'PADDLE HAND' to either initiate or react. And this is very analogous in life as well, our 'PADDLE HAND' must be 24x7-ready.
Worst thing is, if and when we get caught off-guard because in 98% of such cases, you will end up at least a step behind, with your timing-off and your reflexes not leveraged to be maximized simply because you seem to be in that reactive mode. What this tells us is that where possible, let us NOT be in reactive mode. When we react, our cognitive functions end up being impaired and stretched, all rolled into one. This explains why 90% of our missteps in life are attributable to the fact that we were in 'reactive' mode. So, this brings us back to our 'PADDLE HAND' because that is at the crux of how we handle things in life.
One realization we need to share is that life is never predictable. Life can't be scripted at all. Truth is, life runs 'on the fly and off the cuff'. With one too many variables in the equation [of life], only one thing can be certain and that is, ensure the readiness of our 'PADDLE HAND' because anytime, a risk could be lurking behind your back.
In the most simple terms, in our life, STAYING READY is all what it takes. Have we seen the firemen from the Fire Department. 99% of the time, they remain idle and literally doing nothing until a fire incident gets reported and when that phone rings at the Fire Department, you would see the firemen moving in sequential and methodical steps till they start the fire truck engines with the emergency horns with blazing lights. Did we ever catch firemen as not ready ? Or their fire trucks unable to go with 5 minutes ? WHEN YOU STAY READY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET READY.✅✅✅
