Getting to understand that things would continue to happen whether we like it or not, your car would surely break down unexpectedly maybe until the makers finds a way to ensure otherwise, food might get scares leading to inflation, Bills may get hyped, unplanned expenses you need to cover, all this things in conjunction with the normal occurring events would happen and we wish to be ready for it. That's where the need for a defense plan comes up, for this type of events there are two major defense mechanisms we need, that is behavioural and money. Of course money is the most known defense, it assist and takes care of almost everything, with money comes lesser worries ofcourse.

I'll highlight shortly, some defense we need to build.

Money

For events that might eat out of your savings or pocket at the time, we hope to have in store for the rainy days, signifying times when we this are different, not as easy as always, then we hope to have saved up. So having enough money is a defense that can help us in this given situation. When the car breaks down, with money it can get fixed so easily, when there's a urgent need in the family that has not been planned for, with enough money at hand that can be sorted out easily. Even the great book "The Bible" has clearly stated the fact that money is a defense. Well we all are chasing for the money.

Behavioral Defense

Humility

Another defense we need to have no doubt is the defense of behavior, our attitude, our characters is one major area we need to work on, cause it would help us in situations that are way more than our capabilities. Behaviors like humility has often shown productive in this aspect. Already we can be humble naturally but we need to be humble to people who can help us. It's not faking that's why it's great humility is in your attitude normally, however if you are humble to the high standing in the society, when unforeseen situations happens that can cause you to tremble, be rest assured they can come to your resuce. This behavior too is a defense, one we must see to get.

Resources Management

Knowing how to manage resources is also a form of defense for us all. Its popularly said "cut your coat accordingly to your size" this is done so we don't incur more expenses than we can handle. It's no insult if someone tells you that you can't afford a costly car, maybe the pattern at which it was said is the issue, but the saying shouldn't be annoying, you're simply making wise choices. With this when situations get out of hand, you are sure you can try your best to settle it, because its within your range. Could it be the rent, car issue, appliances issue, whatever it is as long as it was done within your range, so when it develops issues, you can still take care of it. I know not being high class can be embarrassing but then its wise to avoid the real embarrassment, one you won't be able to solve.

Savings And Investment

Saving and investment needs to be considered as a defense too, I could have linked it to money, but then it won't be more elaborate, cause some people do many cash that's not saved or invested and this cash can take care of their problem anytime it arises, yet it's not so for everyone else, the regular guy has to save up to plan with, if anything be the issue then it can also be easily sorted out from there. Saving and investing are good qualities if you want to be defended against the financial frustrations of life. Just as the ants stored up in summer to have more than enough in winter when they can't work, we too need to save up for rainy days, investment is great too, a good investment multiples so why not.

Helping Others

Raising up others too is smart, oh yes, then you have positioned people who can help you too. One good turn deserves another right. However humans are very funny, that guy who has been faithful to you might suddenly disappear after he's has been helped, so you can't necessarily count on anymore, but that doesn't change the fact that this also is a defense. More wisely help your family first, family can't easily escape especially your wife, husband and kids, its one of the surest investment anyone can do, should incase you aren't buoyant today, then there's somebody here who can assist as quick as possible. Family first its said, but if you can try extending outside the family too, do it for love at least, but you never know which investments would be most profitable.

Relationship With God

Lastly and my most important defense is to keep a relationship with God. God can help in all, like he can easily settle every problem, we need not bother much anymore. Funny how walking with God would put all the highlighted points in place cause he teaches humility, wisdom for saving and investing, resources management as we learnt from the prodigal song and also the need for family first. So this is a very important defense. I know money Is the mostly recognized defense, but in God comes assurance.

We never can tell when a need would be arising, unforeseen and unexpected, could be an important meeting with delegates and you dont want to embarrass yourself, could be a date and you need to make it work, could be mommy or dad calling for something, in any kind of matter arising, we need to be prepared with our brick wall of defense. This way it doesn't weigh us down and sad cause we prepared and can take care of it. Get your defense attitude on check.
