Are You A Human Lobster?

I had to chuckle when I read a copy of Dr. Orrison Swett Marden’s poem titled “Don’t Be A Human Lobster.”

If you don’t know who Orrison Swett Marden was, let me give you a brief introduction. He walked this earth from 1850-1924 and is considered to be the founder of the modern success movement in America. He founded Success Magazine.

When I read his poem, I had to smile. As an entrepreneur, I’ve certainly had my moments where I felt like a lobster. But I didn’t succumb to them. My dear husband Bob is a major factor in keeping my motivation going. He’s upbeat, positive, and he really believes in me. I’m grateful and humbled.

I’ve had more than my share of challenges in my 51 years. I’m not going to go into all of them but it would probably take all ten fingers (and possibly a few toes) to count all the times I could have given up and become a lobster.

But I always believed there was much more in store for me in this life. And as I clung to this belief, the bad would pass and the future would look even brighter. Each time! Without fail.

So here’s the poem…

The Human Lobster

A lobster,
when left high and dry among the rocks
has no instinct and energy enough
to work his way back to the sea,
but waits for the sea to come to him.
If it does not come,
he remains where he is and dies…,
ALTHOUGH the slightest effort
would enable him to reach the waves,
which are perhaps within a yard of him.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF HUMAN LOBSTERS:
PEOPLE STRANDED ON THE ROCKS
OF INDECISION AND PROCRASTINATION,
WHO,
INSTEAD OF PUTTING FORTH
THEIR OWN ENERGIES,
ARE WAITING FOR SOME
GRAND BILLOW OF GOOD FORTUNE
TO SET THEM AFLOAT…!!

This simple poem spoke volumes to me. I’ve been stranded on that beach many times. But slight effort did shift things for the better in my life. Every time I applied the energy.

Persevere.
