Forewarned and forearmed, being prepared is half the victory.
There’s no worse feeling than being presented with an opportunity and not being fully prepared. During my rookie year in the NFL, I had a workout with the Lions. I had partied the weekend before, and I felt that I didn’t give my best performance at the workout. That could’ve been a missed opportunity.
I vowed to never let that happen again and always be ready for whatever opportunity God blesses me with. We pray to God for blessings and opportunities all the time. However, it’s important to ensure that we’re ready to receive them.
There are many things I still want to achieve in life that I haven’t accomplished yet. I just have to control what I can in the present moment, and that means making sure I’m well prepared for any opportunity or blessing that comes my way.
This gives me peace of mind and the confidence to conquer opportunities when they do present themselves.
