* Be Deaf to Negativity *

*Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... ** who arranged arunning competition.
*

*The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. *

*A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on thecontestants.... *
* *
*The race began.... *
* *
*Honestly:
No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top ofthe tower. ***
*You heard statements such as:**
**"Oh, WAY too difficult!!" **
**"They will NEVER make it to the top." **

**or:"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"*

** *The tiny frogs began collapsing. 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 theone 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 frogmanaged to do it? **
*
*
**A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeedand reach the goal? **
**It turned out....That the winner was DEAF!!!!**
*
*
**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:Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams! **

**Always think:*

*God and I can do this!*

*Pass this message on to **

** the "tiny frogs"*

*you care about.**

**Give them some motivation!!! *
***Most people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS leave footprintsin your heart**
*
* and I would like to share these thoughts with you....** * *MANY SMILES BEGIN BECAUSE OF ANOTHER SMILE... **
**
*
*To The World You Might Be One Person; But To One Person You Might Be theWorld.
