Reserves are the stuff during normal situations not very important, but lifesavers in emergencies.  Imagine how acrobats would feel if they’re 60ft up in the air swinging without a safety net below them, and you get an idea of a reserve’s value.  This concept can be apply to everyday lives such as wealth, health, and relationships.  In each aspect, we can strengthen and increase the reservoir if we make a conscious and determined effort.  Losses will hurt, but only a lot less if we have other supports already in place.

So take an assessment of your own life and decide what reserves you might need down the road.
