The Frog Story

Once upon a time, there was a bunch of tiny baby frogs who wanted to enter a running competition to climb a huge tower...

On the day of the race everyone was telling them it was impossible.

As the race was about to begin, the crowd of people gathered to the top of the tower.

One by one the tiny frogs starting to climb up the tower. As they were climbing, the crowd was calling down messages like ‘‘stop now or you will injure yourself!’’. ‘‘You baby frogs are mad, you will never make it!’’. ‘Dream on if you want to make it to the top!’’

As the tiny frogs started to hear these messages, slowly one by one they became discouraged and started to drop out.

The crowd got louder with their applaud of negative words.

Eventually most of the tiny frogs started to give up for various reasons. ‘’‘Maybe they’re right’’ said one frog to another, ‘‘perhaps we are over ambitious about making it’’.

The race came to an end and only one tiny frog managed to climb the whole tower with a huge smile on his face. When he got to the finish line all the other frogs were intrigued at how this tiny frog managed to climb the tower. When they spoke to him they realized he was deaf.

The moral of this story goes for any negative external influences we have in our life. When someone is telling you that your dream is impossible, catch their sentence as you would a negative thought and reframe it. Turn it around and thank them for encouraging you to accomplish your mission even more.
