Traps ...

On the mat - there are traps waiting for us. Ideally, we have the skills and abilities to overcome those traps. In life, the same situations exists … there are traps waiting for us in our future … ideally, we have prepared a little and have the skills and resources to survive them.

A small trap might be your car breaking down … a larger trap might be a bad relationship, a serious health problem, or some such thing. But traps there are … the future has a way of turning up. We should enjoy our lives and wring every drop of joy and fulfilment out of every day - but also, we should invest a little time, preparing for the traps we have not yet seen.
