Provisions are “actions of providing or supplying something for use.”
Provisionary means something that’s “tentatively accepted or adopted.”
Visionaries are persons with original ideas about what the future will or could be like.
Visionaries make provisions that are provisionary.
We can play life like a game of chess, thinking several moves ahead. We have the ability to see beyond what’s right in front of us and consider multiple outcomes for the purpose of minimizing losses or maximizing gains. This is preparation.
However, we cannot afford to allow our egos to become tied down or overly attached to good ideas. We will always lose if we see our preparation as either the final outcome or guaranteeing an outcome we desire. Preparation, no matter how well executed, does not guarantee us anything. Look to nature for proof. The most masterful provisionary measures are no match for tidal waves and tornadoes.
