Projection of Crabs
When people say you can’t do something, they often mean they can’t do it. Other people's limitations are not your reality. Dig deep and connect with the fact that you are a creator. You will reap what you sow. You plant your seeds, water them, and they will grow. Want to have meaningful relationships, travel the world, run successful businesses, and keep your health on point? Then do it! Elevate yourself by overstanding one life lesson: the words “I am” literally mean “I create what I speak” in Hebrew. You can be, have, or do anything you want and don't ever let anyone ever tell you differently. If you want to do it, speak it into existence, put in the work, and you shall reap what you decided you were worthy of. No one else can dictate what you do or how far you can go unless you allow them to.
Exercise: Assessing "Crabs in a Bucket" Behavior
Ask yourself these questions to determine if someone is exhibiting the "crabs in a bucket" behavior:
- Have your friends ever discouraged you from pursuing your goals or dreams?
- Have they made negative comments or ridiculed your efforts to improve yourself?
- Have they actively sabotaged your attempts to succeed?
- Do they show signs of jealousy or resentment when you make progress or achieve success?
- Do they encourage and support you in your endeavors, or do they bring you down?
Reflect on these questions to identify if your friends or social group are holding you back or discouraging your growth.
