I love this story so much that I must bring it out from time to time.
It’s a story about fishing for crabs, and how it gives us all a LIFE LESSON.
The boat catches the crabs and gets it onto the boat.
You have lots of crabs in the bucket and the fisherman never has to put a lid on the bucket either, never worried that the crabs will crawl out and save themselves.
How can this be true?
Once a crab tried to make a run for it by climbing out of the bucket, the other crabs pull it down, they will do anything to pull it back down.
If the crab continues to try to get out, the other crabs will literally tear one of their legs off.
If the crab still persists, they will kill the crab.
It’s a great nature story and a lesson for us in life.
When we try to do something that better ourselves, not all are friends, family and work colleagues are happy. Some will be seriously unhappy because you are showing them up, because they haven’t got the get up and go that you have to attempt great things.
When we keep striving for that better life, often taking action to do amazing things that will change our lives, the more resistance will come sometimes from those around you every day. Learn to expect it.
Are you the crab trying to get out of the bucket constantly striving to do incredible things? Or are you one of the jealous crabs looking to tear down anyone who tries to better themselves?
Dream big, leave the negative crabs behind and see how life changes for you for good.
