"if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready" - will smith

this was an interesting quote i just listened to, and it got me to thinking about preparation and being ready. my thoughts then began to tackle how this applies to life. are our lives just a continuous stream of opportunities that come along at different points along the timeline? is life just a long timesheet of preparing oneself and "readying" ourselves for these opportunities? it's interesting to think about. i would venture to say yes, but to also acknowledge that there is a lot more to life that fills in the gaps. it is such a sweet feeling to be prepared and absolutely nail questions or requests that come up that no one else has the answers to.

life is most definitely a journey, but between preparation and acquiring knowledge and accomplishing goals, we must learn to embrace the JOURNEY and not the SUCCESS.
