Today, aside from the easiest Q in the world (Sundays where everyone either rucks or runs and no need to plan for it), the Q source was on preparedness.  I made sure I had my stuff in a row for today.  A few quick notes from today that were impressed upon me during the reading and study.

Imagine a rowboat is your life.  Keeping the boat upright is the only way to make headway.  You can’t just ride the river.

There are four quadrants (Get Right; Live Right: Lead Right; Leave Right).  You cannot get one out of place.  You cannot start building a house from the top down.  A proper foundation must be in place.

One thing as men that we don’t talk about much is Love.  However, that is the accelerant of preparedness.  This requires a change of heart.  Nothing a man attains in his life has any value until he freely gives it away.  If a man does not love the people he leads more than himself, he cannot put their interests above his own.  When all else falls away, it is only love that will remain.

Get ready for the expected, but be ready for the unexpected.  Disregard the fiction of control and focus on being prepared.
