Maybe you missed my email on Monday....
In the email, I mentioned spending time with people who make you or your life better....and cutting out those who don't.
Crabs - People in your life who are bringing you down with a negative attitude and sucking the motivation out of you. A few typical crabs can be co-workers, friends, in-laws, parents and spouses.
I’ve actually known spouses that are Alaskan king crabs!
Crabs in a bucket syndrome - Put a bunch of live crabs in a bucket and watch as one crab tries to climb out (success) another crab will reach up and pull him right back down. Ultimately, no crabs end up getting out of the bucket.
The crab mentality...
“If I can’t get out neither can you.”
“If I can’t do it, neither can you.”
“If I can’t achieve more, neither can you.”
“If I can’t be happy, neither can you.”
The ocean floor is a crab-eat-crab world.
A crab is used to roaming freely on the ocean floor. They have no concept of a bucket until they are placed in one against their will. On the ocean floor it’s a crab-eat-crab world.
Crabs have no concept of teamwork.
We are humans.
We know the importance of working together. A team can accomplish so much more than one individual. We shouldn’t drag someone down when they are trying to make positive changes, like starting an exercise regimen and eating better.
Negativity is poison. You may want to consider eliminating “poor me” thinking people from your life and surround yourself with uplifting, supportive people with a passion for life.
