I once read a story which I would like to share with you hope you like it.
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods… And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might.
The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He soon died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop give up because soon he too shall die but he 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. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
It was Maya Angelou who once said that we should watch our words because words have power, it is also often said that the tongue is a double edged sword.
Words can be used to raise someone up or tear them down. The power to save a life and or take a life is in the tongue, so we must be careful of what we say and remember to always be kind. I know that it is not easy to forgive but one must bite one’s tongue at times in a manner of speaking.
The second thing we learn from the above mentioned story is regarding the opinions of others, when we face hard times we search for answers and people notice some say nothing, while others share good meaningful advice but there are also some people who give you advice that beats around the bush or has no proper conclusion in such moments one must listen but do what the one’s own heart feels is right, if we rely on someone else’s advice and the results do not meet our expectations we are the ones who suffer or come to regret our decision so we must be wise in discerning the truth while we search for a solution to our problems.
Each person has their own way to work out a problem but what works for one may not work for another.
Thanks for reading..
