"We must undergo a hard winter training and not rush into things for which we haven't prepared."
- Epictetus, Discourses, 1.2.32
Part of this quote from Epictetus makes me think of the saying “plan for the worst, hope for the best”. We can all get a little complacent at times and it’s in those times that it’s most critical to capitalize on our learning, skills, and preparation for what’s ahead. We should assume that whatever is ahead is going to be challenging.
The other part of this quote eluding to “rushing into things” goes hand in hand with the first part of this quote. The more we prepare, the less likely things will seem rushed in times of chaos.
Creating systems in your home or in your workplace can help with the preparation of when shit hits the fan. Prepare wisely in times of calm and you will have the advantage in times of chaos.
