Renew your strengths.

MEND YOUR NETS.

Just as fishermen must tend to their nets to ensure they can catch fishes effectively, we must attend to our own lives, repairing what is frayed, and strengthening what is weak. Mending our nets implies taking the time to address areas in our lives that need attention. There are times in our lives when you will not be able to go out there and put in the work needed to achieve your dreams. Periods of dormancy. It is in these times that we must sit and reflect on what must be strengthened in our lives.

There is never a straight, and unstrained path in life, there will always be moments of highs and lows, moments of achievement and moments of failure. Whenever we feel nothing is happening in our life, whenever we are not busy doing the things that we will normally want to do, we should use that time to prepare for the time when the opportunity to put our skills and ability to the test will come.

It was Jim Rohn who said, "When it is not raining, you don't need to fix the roof, and when it is raining, you cannot fix the roof." You may not need to fix the roof when it is not raining, but if you must enjoy your space and not be disturbed by a leaking roof when the rain comes, you have to fix the roof while there is no rain. Life is all about preparation. Success is what happens when proper preparation meets with opportunities. We must use our hibernation period to prepare for our active seasons, because it is what you have done in that time that will be revealed when you come to the stage.

You must pay attention to personal development, adapt to progressive growth, prioritize self-care, nurture relationships, embrace continuous learning, and create a supportive environment for yourself and others around you. This way you can repair the frayed edges of your life, enhance your well-being and also be prepared to navigate the challenges ahead. As a fisherman tends to his nets for a successful catch, we too must mend and strengthen our lives to fully embrace every opportunity that comes our way.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
