Spiders can teach lessons through their design and resiliency.
Everything a spider needs to survive and succeed in life is with itself. Swipe it with a broom and before it hits the ground, its fall is broken. It just reaches inside, releases another protein-filled silk-like thread, slides down, finds a safe place, then comes back stronger than ever and builds a new web. What’s the message of the spider? Everything you need is within you! Wow!
Your future is not determined by who you know and who you don’t, who likes you and who doesn’t. The power to fulfill you destiny is within you! The warfare over your life and struggle you’re in, is about what you were born, called and gifted to do. So stir up those gifts that are in you and begin to succeed.
Life may have knocked you down, but it hasn’t knocked you out. Whats at work within you will triumph over what’s at work around you. Stand up and hold on, and when the smoke clears, rise up and announce, “I’m back!” You say, “But I lost so much.” As long as you still have what’s inside you, you can make it!
We learn from a spider that: (a) your size doesn’t determine your potential; (b) no matter where you start, you could end up in high places. What’s the message of the spider? As long as you live, keep producing! You might not produce as much as somebody else, but you’ve got to keep producing. You might not be able to produce what you use to, but keep producing. Some of us might produce thirty fold, others sixtyfold, and some a hundredfold. We don’t all produce at the same level, but we must all produce at some level. don’t be intimidated because the other guy is producing a hundredfold and your only producing sixtyfold. You’re only accountable for what you produce.
Keep your mind alert, your dreams alive, and your body moving. You have to have a reason to get up in the morning, because if you don’t after a while you won’t be able to get out of bed. So, get up get dressed, even if you’re not going anywhere. If you can’t fly, get in the car. If you can’t get in the car, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, stand up. If you’re lying down, sit up. If can’t stand up, wiggle your toes, but don’t give up, keep producing.
