LIFE LESSON 

Have you ever heard the crab in the bucket parable? 

Stay with me here... 

Once upon a time, a man was walking on a beach when he came upon a fisherman. As he got closer he saw the fisherman had a bucket full of crabs 🦀.

The crabs were climbing on each other and the bucket had no lid.

The mans asked the fisherman if he was worried the crabs would escape.

The fisherman said 𝙣𝙤, because if only 𝙤𝙣𝙚 crab was in the bucket it could easily climb out.

But because the bucket was 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 of crabs, if one crab tried to crawl out, the 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙥𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣.

This has become known as 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙗 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙮. And unfortunately, it happens with groups of people too.

Have you tried to do something that is brave and different, and felt unsupported and sometimes ridiculed for your courage? 

Do you feel like sometimes you have people in your life that want to pull you back down?

Here’s what I want for you: 

Surround yourself with people who have a GROWTH mindset. 

The best way to succeed is in a community of people who lift each other up, not tear eachother down. 

You are capable of amazing things - if you have a dream in your heart - it’s there for a reason ✨
