My children hear me tell them to be positive, I tell myself to be positive, blah, blah, blah. The following humorous story focuses on the results that can be attained if we push ahead and choose again, and again, to think positive - great things happen!
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.
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top." or:
"Not a chance they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
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?
It turned out.... That the winner was not listening!!!!
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: Don't listen when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!
Hugs,
