The other day I was told that if you placed a crab directly over heat it would freak out and do whatever it needed to do to try to get away but if you placed a crab in a pot of water it would sit and boil to death. I thought it was a pretty interesting analogy for many things in life. As a business…is your industry changing and are you staying ahead of the curve? As a person, are you gradually packing on the pounds without realizing how bad it’s getting? As a partner or a lover, is your relationship changing gradually day by day to the point you do not even remember the person you fell in love with?
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our lives that we do not even notice the gradual changes. Next thing you know we find ourselves submerged in a pot of boiling water headed towards uncertainty. So I guess I need to ask…are you going to keep sitting in a pot of boiling water or are you going to wake up, feel the heat and do whatever you need to do to make the changes in your life?
