There once
was a bunch of tiny frogs, ..who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to
reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd
had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the
contestants... The race began... Honestly...No one in the crowd really believed that the
tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements
such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!!" They will NEVER make it to the
top!!!" or: "Not a chance that they will succeed. The
tower is too high!!!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by
one...Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher
and higher... The crowd continued to yell, "It is too
difficult!!! No one will make
it!!!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up...But ONE
continued higher and higher and higher... This one wouldn't give up!!!
At the end
everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one
tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the
only one who reached the top! THEN all of
the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog
managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had
found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?
It turned
out...That the winner was DEAF!!!
The
wisdom of this story is:
NEVER listen to other people's
tendencies to be negative or pessimistic... Because they take your most wonderful
dreams and wishes away from you...the ones you have in your
heart!!!
Always
think of the power words have.
Because everything you hear
and read will affect your actions!!!
Therefore:
ALWAYS
be...POSITIVE!!!
And above all:
Be DEAF
when people
tell YOU that you can not fulfill your
dreams!!!
Always
think:
God
and I can do this!!!
Pass
this message on to 5 "tiny frogs"you care about.
Give them some
motivation!!!
