As you rightly said, being prepared is not only for a long trip, in a place isolated from the world, but for everyday life as well.
I tend to prepare as much as I can, pay attention to details, check everything, or at least take into account as many variables as possible and what paths might occur and from there analyse and prepare.
That makes me responsible for anything I do, even cooking, having the ingredients in advance, to give an example.
I always check everything electrical, in my flat there is no gas, in Argentina there is and I checked every night that the stopcock was turned off. I do the same nowadays with everything.
It's not that nothing has ever happened to me, in fact some time ago I was so emotionally bad that I blocked myself and a castastrophe almost happened, but everything turned out well. I'm always on the lookout but that day my mind was somewhere else. It helped me to learn and to be more prepared. I almost burnt my kitchen....
I don't have a car, so I do everything on foot, I carry my backpack, water, something to eat, another pair of shoes just in case, something sweet, everything just in case.
Good afternoon ... evening Galenkp!
It seems like you've got a reasonable understanding of the need to take responsibility of oneself and what may come to pass in life. There's so many simple things a person can do each do bring them a better level of safety, security or feeling of confidence. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money either.
Hopefully you have a good day ahead.
Nobody is to blame for what happens in my life, I am the only one responsible, it depends on the actions and decisions I take in my life.
The more precaution and foresight, the more security and peace of mind. Of course there are always unforeseen events, but I am prepared.
Of course, I've just come back from doing the monthly shopping... I'm a foresighted person, at least for the non-perishable items.
Now to write and enjoy the afternoon. Good night, have a good rest!
