SNAPlife: Well Begun Is Half Done - s2e112

Every task requires there being some sort of execution. That's the nature of a task.

Successful completion of a a task of any kind often is closely connected to effectively preparing. The cliche "well begun is half done" is accurate!

Showing up for a "job" of any sort—school… career… even family events—needs to include getting ready to show up. In sports, announcers will sometimes say, "well, they just didn't show up today," meaning not that their bodies weren't there but rather that they didn't arrive with the mindset of preparation.

Prepare for the "job" ahead of time. Have your gear sorted out. Have knowledge of the thing you are supposed to do. Have knowledge of what your responsibilities will be. Just being physically present isn't enough.

The preparation that goes into something is often the single most important aspect of success. Though being prepared alone is not enough to make anyone successful, not being prepared IS enough to many anyone fail.

Begin well, execute well, and seize the success you aim for.
