Don’t Be A Lobster

Don't Be Like A Lobster On A Rock

“A lobster, when left high and dry among the rocks, has not the instinct and enough energy to work its way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to it. If the sea does not come the lobster remains where it is and dies. Although the slightest effort would have enabled it to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard.

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.” - Dr. Orrison Swett Marden
