One of earth's oldest professions is often overlooked by society. Day by day people slog around their homes complaining about the economy, the job market, or the lack of opportunity. The fisherman or fisherwoman always have their eyes on the horizon for what change may bring.
For a good fisherman, there is no reason to dread hard times, but its best to work on resilience. Bad weather is bound to show up sooner or later so their is no reason to seek justice in nature. Being ready to tie down your gear, grit your teeth , and take a licking is what keeps you above water.
Fisherman are natures gamblers and know how to play the odds. The more safe chances you take, the more you win. Being organized allows you to fish more days and catch more fish. Life rewards those who guess and test.
The fisherman knows preparation and practice make the difference. Many times you only get a short window for your catch and the less prepared don't launch their boats.
Fishing for a living can be grueling. A good fisherman uses gratitude as a skill. Gratitude for a life on the water transcends hardship. 
The lessons of a fisherman are as timeless as the oceans waves. Using them in your life can give you shelter from the storm and keep you ready for the fish that swim by every day.
