This is so apt. For me at this stage in life, I am charting in open seas. There are times when the sea is smooth and everything is 'hunky dory' (to pen a phrase from a friend). Never take wealth, health, family and the economic situation for granted. Not for a minute.
Everybody can put up a brave face and smile for the social media. The ones truly happy are the people who have their goals laid out clearly from young and met (at least 90% of it anyway).
Broadly they encompass
1. Financial independence
2. Some reserves for a rainy day (at least 2 years or 24 months)
3. Good Health mentally and physically with mobility
4. Strong relations with family and some friends.
5. Relevance to society or the environment around them.
My small business is in steady waters. However, in an instant there may be a giant gale coming around the horizon and a hurricane or major storm is just around the corner. We have to be prepared for it or we are history.
I was reminded this morning of the quote by the founder of the Scout Movement worldwide
"Be Prepared"
I will add my additional quote to this
"Be Prepared and Take Appropriate Action"
