Reflection on Today's Quote
Panic is noise. Preparation is oxygen. When I’ve rehearsed the move—even once—the room doesn’t shrink when the clock spikes. Lists become ladders. Breathing returns. The brain stops guessing and starts executing. Funny how boring work—laying out clothes, backing up files, walking through the what-ifs—turns into speed when it counts. You don’t rise to the occasion; you fall to the level of your prep. And that tenth time? It humbles you. Reminds you preparation isn’t a guarantee; it’s a gift you give your future self so chaos has less to grab. Ask yourself: if the fire alarm went off in your life today, what would you reach for first—an exit plan or a feeling?
