The fable of the frog pit

Not sure where this story came from but its message is worth dwelling on:

One day an army of frogs were trudging through the jungle. Suddenly two of them fell into a deep pit. The rest of the frog army were terrified because they were sure their friends were going to die.

You see the pit was very deep. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope for them.

Faced with death, the fallen frogs chose to ignore their friend's advice and proceeded to try to jump out of the pit. Knowing how impossible the task was, the army of frogs at the top of the pit continued shouting that they should just give up as they’d never make it out.

Eventually, one of the frogs took heed of what the others were saying and gave up, jumping even deeper to his death.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the army of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and to just die.

The remaining frog focused himself and jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?”

The frog explained to them that he was deaf, and that he thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

I’ve pondered this story many, many times. The lessons are numerous. There is the lesson of focus. The lesson of determination. But the lesson that hits me hardest is the power of words.

When one frog thought the words were delivering a message of no hope, he gave up. He lost his own hope, even at the expense of his life.

When the other frog thought the word being yelled were of encouragement he doubled his efforts and never gave up until he succeeded.

This is why I truly believe that you must be EXTREMELY careful about the messages and words you allow into your head.

Choose your friends and teacher wisely,

On that note. I’d like you to listen to a friend and teacher I have chosen for myself.

Today there is so much noise and chaos. Specifically today the noise is about buying gold.

Well… don’t buy gold…yet.

If you are willing, listen to Andy Tanner and let his words into your head.

He is wise and he has helped THOUSANDS including myself.
