SPIDER'S WIT.
I recalled as a child that my mom had this long palm trunk upon which a small size broom was nicely attached.
It was a nice art craft product of Northern Nigeria. It was used as cob-web removal.
As a child, then, I usually thought about the mission of these tiny creatures, which caused these messes every now and later. Not until a few years later, when I started paying attention to what this was all about.
I started seeing insects and flies hanging within the web as preys for the spiders to enjoy.
Then, it dawned on me that what I was referring to as a mess is another creature's strategy of getting its needs met.
Then, when I started watching the "Nat Geo Wild" channel, then I was exposed to diverse animals and insects wits of survival.
The focal point of this particular write-up is Spider's wits.
As briefly explained above, spiders are carnivorous hunters in the class of the Lions & other flesh eaters. Spiders equally feast on flesh of the likes of houseflies and other insects.
But their uniqueness of hunting is what is worthy of admiration.
Spiders are keen observers of their territory in order to discover the lodging or playing arena of flies and insects. After this survey, the spider comes around to set up its hunting webs at the strategic places within that arena.
They're so versed in their skills that it becomes impossible for any flies that peradventure dabbled into this web in the cause of flying hardly escaped.
Besides the strategy of a web. Spiders are patience, focused & proactive hunter peradventure it came one-on-one in contact with its prospective prey. I have observed this act severally being an "Experiential Training 1" I usually pay attention to my environment for learning.
Now, let's juxtaposed spiders wit with your personal goal accomplishment.
To start with, there's something unique about you. This uniqueness was naturally wired into you as your special advantage.
Your uniqueness is your spiders wit. It's your web of hunting, and it's meant to aid your needs being met.
Have you observed that every creature has a unique special advantage?
Eagles have her dexterity of mastering storms while other birds take cover during storms, Eagles soars.
Lions are dexterous in strength and speed.
As little as Ants are, they're so versed in understanding time & season.
Spiders are skilled in strategic living.
Instead of sneaking around every nook and crannies, spiders adopted the principle of "Investment and Dividend."
A spider will invest its advantage of making the web in order to have preys as a dividend.
The question then is, what are you doing with your special & unique advantage?
This could be your stunning beauty.
Your special intelligence in a specific area.
It could be your natural strength.
Your singing or speaking dexterity is your advantage.
Instead of setting up yourself for a struggling life or a low comfort zone, choose to be strategic with your life by building your life around your strength.

Switching to a fashion designer may be a Spider's wit to end your strugglings.
It doesn't matter how long you've gone on a wrong route. It'll never get you to your destination except you turn back.
Stop following the masses in going after what is popular and generally acceptable instead of your unique advantage.
