WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?
The ‘Crabs’ of Life
If ever you walk past a seafood restaurant , perhaps on a seaside pier, you may see a big barrel, without a lid, that is full of live crabs. On seeing this you could be forgiven in thinking that the crabs could easily jump out and fall back into the sea.
But you would be wrong. If you spent some time observing them, you’d be surprised to notice that, every time one of the crabs tried to get to the edge of the barrel to escape, all the other ones would pull him back in.
Can you recognize these type of people around you? Think of all the times your so-called friends would talk you out of something that you wanted to do, something you knew was important to you.
Who are the crabs in your life? Who and what is holding you back from doing what you want? When you decide to work-out, go on a diet, or do something worthwhile, who and what stops you?
