I was browsing through an online magazine the other day and came upon a story that I thought truly illustrated how much our own positive thinking can lead to positive changes here .
The story goes like this:
Positive Thought- A Strong Tool Of Success
Once upon a time there was bunch of tiny frogs that arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.
The race began. Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of tower. You heard statements such as, "They will NEVER make it to the top. Or: Their success was not hopeful. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing, one by one, except for those, who in fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher.
The people still yelled "It's too hard!!! 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 one tiny frog. After a huge effort, he was the one who reached the top! THEN all the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal. It turned out.... that the winner was deaf!!!!
Ignore Negative Opinions To Achieve Positive Changes We all would like to think that we are above allowing others to influence our daily lives, including our goals and aspirations, whatever they may be. When it comes to getting fit , positive changes are the first line of defense.
Here are some great ways to begin to change your thinking:
Make a list of what you want to achieve and keep a journal of your successes Allow for mistakes, if you slip behind, don't procrastinate or worry, get up and fix it Listen to yourself, are you giving yourself thoughts that will hinder your goals? Get inspiration from anywhere you can. Surround yourself with people who will not bring you down, misery loves company and you could get consumed by that.
Don't let yourself believe that your goals are to hard to reach. Close your ears to those that want to bring you down, think positive and positive changes will follow.
