Carpe Diem

I woke up this morning worry free for the first time of my adult life it seems. It's not that I dont have problems; it's just that I think ive finally learned that the only thing I can control is how prepared I am to deal with a problem. Once its here I can only use what I have to face it. Shoulda coulda wouldas dont help now so why bog myself down with those. If I havent prepared as well as I could then I get a chance to face it with my limited arsenal and give it all I got; if I find success that's awesome, if I run out of options today, I can put together a plan to increase my preparedness in the future based on the lessons I learned in the battle today. Either way success will be had...eventuallly. Carpe diem...seize the day!
