When you start to truly invest into yourself… you’re going to learn that many people you spend your time around are actually crabs in a bucket.
.
If you’ve never heard this analogy before… when you have multiple crabs in a bucket, and one tried to crawl up the wall to escape, all the other crabs will pull it back down and keep it in the bucket.
.
The second you start investing into yourself to truly become the best version of yourself possible…
.
Most people around you are going to get very uncomfortable.
.
And when they do…
.
They’re going to try to pull you down.
.
They’re going to call you crazy or insane behind your back.
.
They’re going to tell you that you need to be “realistic”
.
And ultimately… They’re going to try an convince you that living the shitty quality of life with them, is better than one you know deep down in your heart will make you happy and fulfilled.
.
I say all of that to say this…
.
If you’re taking a chance on yourself… if you’re putting all your chips on you… if you’re taking a risk to achieve a goal that only you can see…
.
You’re going to have to learn to not give a fuck what any of the crabs in the bucket say, think, or feel.
.
Crawl out of that bucket and chase your dream. They’re going to stay in there and die anyways.
