Life runs in cycles.

Some seasons everything clicks. Energy is high, ideas flow, things compound.

Other seasons nothing works, motivation disappears, and bad news arrives in batches.

Most people panic in the down cycles. They think something is permanently wrong. They fight it, force it, burn out trying to push through.

But the down cycle is part of life, not an exception to it.

Every farmer knows you don't plant in winter. You don't force growth when the conditions aren't there. You read the season and act accordingly.

Learn to read your cycles. Stop fighting them.
