Options
Give yourself options. Even if you don’t use them, it’s good to have them.
A single route to your destination is likely to get you there almost every time. But what if one roadway on that route happens to be closed one day?
The battery in your phone has enough charge to last until you get back home. But what if your return is delayed?
You cannot fully know what the days and hours ahead will bring. What you can do is to prepare yourself with various contingencies.
Most of your endeavors will probably go according to the way you’ve planned. Even so, some extra consideration, preparation and options could prevent serious inconvenience or disaster.
In just about every aspect of your life, options give you flexibility. And there are times when a little flexibility can make a big difference.
