Being prepared

I listened to a sales podcast recently.
The importance of being prepared for questions from customers or clients was the topic of discussion.
The podcasters emphasized that the best way of being prepared with answers to client’s questions was to write down the answers to the questions that are most often asked.
Same goes with writing.
Writing can enable you to prepare yourself for recurring challenges, and circumstances that come up repeatedly in life.
When you write, you begin to see the nature of your thoughts and the nature of the recurring situations in which you will find yourself, and then in the calm reflective eye of the storm of difficulties, you have an opportunity to devise and write down what you will, can, and must think, say and do when confronted by the anticipated future situation.
It takes hard work, self-honesty, and a sense of humor, but you either have what you need before or put yourself in a frame of mind that allows for an appropriate spontaneous reply. You are never given more than you can handle, even if you think you have met your match. All it takes is the adequate resolve to rise above the difficult occasion, and with persistence, you will triumph over it.
