Today I told a story at our Monday Morning Meeting about a couple of frogs who fell into a deep hole. The other frogs peered down into this very deep hole and decided it was impossible for them to jump their way out. They kept hollering down to forget it, it was just too deep to get out. One frog eventually gave up. The other frog fought on, jumping, grasping, and persistently trying to get out. He did! In the end he did the seemingly impossible. When the frogs at the top asked him why he didn’t listen to them and just give up - the valiant frog told them he was hard of hearing and thought they were cheering him on and encouraging him. What a lesson! The value of encouragement in the face of what seems impossible can be the difference between success and failure.
