The Power of Preparation

I always loved watching my mom bake desserts in the kitchen.

The aroma of cookies, pies, and cakes warms my heart to this day.

She would meticulously measure each ingredient from her recipe book before starting.

I would ask her...

“Why do you prepare everything first?”

“Being organized, Donny, is the key to everything in life...Just like baking, you need to be ready for what comes next.”

Years later, my acceptance into a top-rated school was terrifying.

The workload was immense, and thoughts of flunking out haunted me...

"I don't belong here!"

Then, I remembered what Mom told me about preparation.

Every night, I'd make a list of things I needed to get done the next day.

I'd organize class notes and schedule my study times.

My strategy gradually paid off with great results.

Planning gave me the confidence and clarity to succeed.

And with the right mindset, readiness, and outlook on life...

Anything is possible for you!
