I love Threads.

It takes me 2.7 seconds to throw out random ideas.

I never know if it's gonna be genius or garbage, but Threads let's me know pretty quickly.

If it lands...I quadruple down on that idea/topic.

If it flops?

I pretend like it didn't happen like that one time I rocked a mullet in 2010 (no joke).

I think it looked majestic!

Anywhooo...

Lately, I've been yapping about a topic that keeps hitting.

Most people, yes, sometimes, even the one's under your own roof, don't actually want to see you do better.

It's that "crabs in a bucket" mindset.

You toss a handful of crabs in a bucket.

One tries to escape, and the others yank him back down.

Eventually, they are starve to death.

It's the same in real life, although, you likely ain't gonna die.

But your dreams might.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

Often times, your leveling up reminds people of the potential they're squandering away. And people hate that shit.

It's like you're holding up a mirror and all they see are their own insecurities staring back at them.

That discomfort, lack of support or weird vibe when you talk about your goals?

Totally normal.

We all deal with this, so you're not alone, Reader

Do me one favor:

Do NOT let their fear become your ceiling.

When you start really leveling up (your Stripe account doing the happy dance daily, putting on muscle, losing weight, etc), that's when the "crabs" are gonna pull the hardest.

Don't let them slow you down.

If you do want out of that bucket...
