the little frogs
<br><br>life&#39;s lesson no. 1<br><br>there once was a bunch of tiny frogs,... <br><br>... who arranged a running competition.<br><br>the goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.<br><br>a big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants...<br><br>the race began...<br><br>honestly:<br><br>no one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top<br>of the tower.<br><br><br>you heard statements such as:<br><br>&quot;oh, way too difficult!!&quot;<br><br>&quot;they will never make it to the top.&quot;<br><br>or:<br><br>&quot;not a chance that they will succeed. the tower is too high!&quot;<br><br>the tiny frogs began collapsing. one by one...<br><br>... except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and<br>higher...<br><br>the crowd continued to yell,<br><br>&quot;it is too difficult!!! no one will make it!&quot;<br> <br>more tiny frogs got tired and gave up...<br><br>..but one continued higher and higher and higher...<br><br>this one wouldn&#39;t give up!<br><br>at the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. except for the<br>one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the<br>top!<br><br>then all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one<br>frog managed to do it?<br><br>a contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to<br>succeed and reach the goal?<br>it turned out...<br><br>that the winner was deaf!!!!<br><br>the wisdom of this story is:<br><br>never listen to other people&#39;s tendencies to be<br><br>negative or pessimistic... <br><br>...because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you<br>-- the ones you have in your heart!<br><br>always think of the power words have.<br><br>because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!<br><br><br><br>therefore:<br><br>always be...<br><br>positive! <br><br>and above all:<br><br>be deaf when people tell you that you can not fulfil your dreams!<br><br>always think:<br><br>god and i can do this!<br><br>pass this message on to 5 &quot;tiny frogs&quot; you care about.<br><br>give them some motivation!!! <br> <br><br>

all you can do is do your best and aim as high as you possibly can. everybody has limitations, not everybody can "win". there will always be somebody better than you in some way: taller, better looking, more money. it doesn't matter, because most people don't even strive for greatness.maybe you run that marathon and you come in like 20th or something. you didn't win. but you came 20th out of thousands of people. those thousands of people also trained, and are fitter than the average person. they guy/girl who came in 1000th, 2000th, 3000th, 10,000th place is fitter than the average person. the average person doesn't exercise at all. the average person could barely run a half a marathon, they couldn't even complete that.the same goes everywhere else. i like to lift weights. plenty of guys are bigger and stronger than me. but i'm much stronger than the average guy. 65% of guys are obese. of the remaining 35%, the majority are scrawny and out of shape. simply lifting weights regularly, eating right, and having the discipline to do that sets you apart from probably 80% of men in that area.that's all that's really required. the heroes. as powerful as they are, they would be able to run up to him and tear off the gauntlet before he could snap.

bq; it's all random. who lives and who dies is determined just by luck.

'awareness'. you should watch your inner thought processes and your bodily/feeling reactions, rather than necessarily having to get caught up in them or believing them, or even answering them. once they are watched and the own processes of your consciousness are understood more fully, they will start to lose their grip on you.the other thing worth bearing in mind is people are different in their own moods, feelings, perceptions, their own internal make up - karma - or reaction to things. therefore, they may be reacting in a way that is entirely nothing to do with you. you might also like to watch this video on healthy boundaries if you feel that might be an issue. Your time hasn't come yet. No need to be discouraged. Use this time to grow and learn about yourself. Read to uplift and encourage yourself. Dont compare your life to others because you aren't meant to be like the next person think about all those olden times when the apostles acted as ordinary individuals  arguing about who among them was the 'greatest', asking to be seated on the next right and left of their master, running away saving themselves from being implicated time after, even denying and betraying their master in the end. this only proved how 'weak' at heart even an 'apostle' could be. most of us would desire a piece of fame and power. tempted to claim praises anywhere we could. lost at times in our misused words. but just as it was said: "not all that call out "lord!, lord!" are worthy of his name. 

if we judge; we, too, shall be judged. sometimes, our humility barometer isn't working properly?
