Knowing is half the battle

Knowing your worth is not enough. You have to apply the price and act like it also. What good is knowing you're priceless if you act worthless, bargain priced or you give yourself away to anyone willing to pay. GI joe wisdom ladies and gentlemen, knowing is only half the battle

Crabs in a barrel - Change the Narrative

I think the term crabs in a barrel is one of the most misunderstood saying in our life time. Crabs have gotten a bad rap, people assume that crabs crawl up over each other and when one gets to the top, the others maliciously and intentionally snatch the one down. When in actuality, anyone that's ever sat in a fish market will tell you,what crabs do is out of ignorance. Crabs attempt to do exactly what ants do when they can't cross a barrier, they climb over each other to build a bridge, THE PROBLEM, crabs aren't built to climb, and they are too heavy to pull off this maneuver. If you ever sit in a fish market, you 'll also see that when the top crab reaches the top and is able to balance himself on the ledge, he may reach back his claw down to help another, but the weight pulls them both back. Its the their ignorance not their meanness. Where others see negative I see relentless, crabs don't realize they can fail, they keep trying regardless, and eventually you may see two get out together, that's called making an adjustment. We should be just like the crabs keep trying against all odds and make the necessary adjustments until we succeed. If you can't free everybody, free one, if you can't free any, free yourself, but keep trying, even if you not meant to climb and you're given a bad rap because people misunderstand. ‪#‎daily‬ ‪#‎inspiration‬ ‪#‎ChangeTheNarrative‬
