Lesson From The Story Crabs In A Barrel

Crabs In A Barrel

Crabs In A Barrel

“Crabs in a barrel is a story I’ve heard motivational speaker Craig Valentine tell! He said you could put crabs and a big barrel and leave the lid off and still none of them would get out. Just to soon as one crab started getting near the top of crab below would reach up and pull him back down. Craig compared it to us humans. If we are slightly below another and they begin to rise we have a tendency to try to pull them back now. If we say that we are going to write a book they say, “don’t you know that you probably won’t be successful?” They ask if we know how many people have written books that didn’t sell even one hundred copies? They seemingly want to dash some water on your fire. They ask the question “what do you want to do that for.””

11/23–Worry Doesn’t Help

Story:

11/23–Crabs In A Barrel

Scripture:

Romans 12:15

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Humor:

The story is told of the fellow that called 911. He screamed, “You gotta send somebody to help me! My wife is lying on the floor and I don’t know what’s wrong with her.” The operator said, “Okay, settle down. What’s your address?” The man said, “613 Eucalyptus.”

She asked, “Sir, can you spell that for me?” There was a long pause and he finally said, “If I drag her over to Oak Street, can you pick her up there?”

If you can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?

11/23– Can You Spare A Minute?

11/23–Father to his son: don’t ever let anybody tell you that you can’t do something…. not even me. If you have a dream…. you having to protect it! When people can’t do something themselves .. they want to tell you that you can’t do it. 

If you want something go get it, period. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are powerful beyond measure! Is our light not our darkness is that for most frightens us. 

You’re playing small does not serve the world there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. It’s not distant some of us it’s in everyone. 

As we unconsciously let our own light shine we give others permission to do the same as we are liberated from our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others. In this lifetime, you don’t have to prove anything to nobody except yourself!! You need to keep negotiating with your mind to find more strength…. but you keep going. 

Dream big, don’t ever give up. Help other people achieve success and you will be successful! The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books –how not to eat what you’ve just learned how to cook.

Story:

The Retiring Builder

Scripture:

Luke 6:48-49

He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Humor:

One Sunday morning, after a lifeless service, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.

The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, “Good morning, Alex.”

“Good morning, pastor,” replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. “Pastor, what is this?” Alex asked.

“Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service,” the pastor said.

They stood together staring at the large plaque. Little Alex shot back, “Which service did they die in–morning or evening?”

My, how we love to argue over worship!

Can You Recognize When Your Spouse Is Not Happy?

Is your spouse happy?

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

11/22– Can You Spare A Minute?

11/22–A Chinese boy who wanted to learn about jade went to study with a talented old teacher. This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. 

Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under it. After an hour he took back the stone and sent the boy home. 

The procedure was repeated for several weeks. The boy became frustrated. When would he be told about the jade? He was too polite, however, to question the wisdom of his venerable teacher. Then one day, when the old man put a stone into his hands, the boy cried out instinctively, ‘That’s not jade!’”

Be Careful When You Give Something Permission

A little banyan seed said to a palm tree one day, “I am weary of being tossed about by the wind; let me lodge in your branches.” 

Remain as long as you like,” was the reply. Soon the tree forgot all about its tiny guest, but the seed did not remain idle.   Immediately it began to work its roots under the bark and into the heart of the trunk itself. 

Finally the tree cried out, “What are you doing?” 

I’m only the little seed you allowed to rest among your boughs,” came the reply. 

“Get out!” exclaimed the palm. “You’ve become too large and strong!” 

I cannot leave you now,” said the banyan. “We have grown together, and I would kill you if I tore myself away.” 

The tree tried desperately to shake itself loose, but to no avail. Eventually its graceful leaves turned brown, and its trunk wasted away; but the banyan continued to thrive until its host could no longer be found.

Would you like to go on a treasure hunt? You don’t have to go far… there’s a treasure hidden within each of us if we can only take the time to discover !

Each individual among us is a designers original!!! Why would take a designer take a creation and hide it in the closet? They would take it and proudly display it for all the world to see!

Try to discover the excellence  not only that’s within you but others also!!

Scripture:

Galatians 6:7-9

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Can You Spare A Minute 11/21

If you can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?

11/21– Can You Spare A Minute?

11/21–An old tale is told of a storm that caught a vessel off a rocky coast and threatened to drive it and its passengers to destruction. 

In the midst of the terror, one daring man, contrary to orders, went to the deck, made a dangerous passage to the pilot house and saw the steerman, at his post holding the wheel unwaveringly, and inch by inch, turning the ship out, once more, to sea. 

The pilot saw the watcher and smiled. Then, the daring passenger went below and gave out a note of cheer: “I have seen the face of the pilot, and he smiled. All is well.”

In a similar manner, God smiles on us.   All is well.
