Archive: Forget Doom and Gloom: Preparedness is the Ultimate Act of Optimism |<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"optimism<\/a><\/p>\n

Note from Daisy<\/strong>: \u00a0With all of the hullabaloo about Ebola lately, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves of why we prepare. We don\u2019t do it out of fear. We do it because we like the peace of mind it brings. \u00a0When we are ready for anything from a job loss to a power outage to an outright apocalypse, we know that we can handle whatever life sends our way. A preparedness lifestyle is a constant affirmation that we will persevere.<\/em><\/p>\n

Does this sound familiar?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re talking to a friend or family member who isn\u2019t on board with preparedness. \u00a0(And it\u2019s even worse when they\u00a0think<\/em>\u00a0they know what\u2019s going on in the world but garner their so-called \u201cinformation\u201d from network news sources.) \u00a0You try for the millionth time to get them to consider stocking up on a few things and they say this:<\/p>\n

\n

Life\u2019s too short for all of this doom and gloom. \u00a0Live a little! You\u2019re such a pessimist!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My response to this is that preparedness is the ultimate form of optimism.<\/p>\n
