When I have a problem or a situation comes up were I
need to make a decision or take some action, I think
before I jump the gun.

We should never approach any situation that suddenly
presents itself in your life in a hasty manner, if
you do, you will end up paying for the consequences
it leaves behind.

No, never approach a problem in this matter, but rather
plan a way for you to resolve it.

If it's a family member, try to encourage them to do
the same, every problem that arises should be dealt
in this manner.

Have a plan ready, get the family together to talk about
everything that goes on at home, let each family member
be aware of any changes taking place during the week.

Now you might think I'm exaggerating, but believe me I'm
not. All kinds of things come our way, and we need to be
ahead of the game.

Remember we live in a jungle these days, read the papers
and you'll see what I mean. We simply need to be ready for
come what may.

Not everyone can plan things out this way, because some people
are simply to busy to even sit for a cup of coffee.
There work schedules simply won't allow it. They don't
even get to sit with family to discuss anything.

This way everyone at home can participate and feel they
are also contributing to being part of the family unit.

Instead of being divided, you and your family can be
united, in good times and bad, no matter what the situation
and in this way you'll be making the family stronger
in preparing them for what events may happen.

Even though we don't know what the future might bring
we need to prepare ourselves and our families as well.

Don't go at it alone, always count on your family for
support and advice. Life can be rough and cruel at
times, but with support from others we can make the
right decision. Remember, have a plan ready, go over
with your family and practice.

Just like if you were in school, remember how you
had to practice for an emergency escape, in case of
fire, well you do the same thing, you practice in
advance for what may come, and you'll be ready.
