Don’t be a crab
You’ve heard the example….
Put one crab in a bucket, and it’ll climb out.
Put a few together? They’ll fight to keep each other down.
That’s the classic victim mentality.
It’s not just pain—it’s pain that refuses to grow.
It’s a mindset that says, “If I can’t rise, neither can you.”
And most often unintentionally!!
It blames. It makes excuses. It justifies. It surrounds itself with people who say, “You’re right. Life did you dirty, Lets talk about all the ways.”
Let’s be real—
Misery LOVES company… it needs it, it feeds it and pretty soon the blame game keeps the party going so long that you cant see a way out.
That’s the danger…
The longer you stay in that mindset,
The more you start building a home in the very place you were meant to escape.
You defend dysfunction.
You protect your wounds.
You get offended by freedom.
And worst of all?
You start pulling others down the moment they reach for more.
It’s a slippery slope—
One excuse turns into a lifestyle.
One hurt becomes your identity.
And before you know it, your whole story is about what happened to you instead of what God wants to do through you.
Here’s the truth:
Victimhood is a trap.
You don’t escape it by being right.
You escape it by being responsible.
You were born to climb.
To break cycles.
To become the one who doesn’t stay in the bucket—no matter who tries to pull you back.
Victim or victor?
Crab or climber?
Cycle-breaker or crowd-pleaser?
You get to choose.
Every. Single. Day.
