Frogs are generally deemed as disgusting creatures by the masses. Even more so if you imagine that you have to eat one! I think we can safely assume that no one would want to do that voluntarily.
In our previous posts, we discussed the nature of ultimate reality and the illusory veil from which everything is given an adjective in the whirlwind of destructive emotions. We examined the windows through which we see the reality surrounding us and how these windows manifest. In our series of motivational and inspiring posts, our main goal is to help you learn how to create and shape these windows for yourself.
That is, to see the world in a better light and find a way to cope with the difficulties that you have to face in life. To see them not merely as difficulties, but opportunities that could open our eyes to new horizons unbeknownst to us. But not everyone is capable of doing that.
Sometimes people’s predisposition to see the world in a different light overwhelms their determination to find a better way to live or shake off the negative outlook that has been with them all their lives. Maybe that outlook is a part of their identity.
But there is also a solution for that; a chain of thought, if you will, to come to terms with that outlook with a different approach.
Backtracking to how we started this article, frogs are indeed disgusting creatures. Let’s just say that you don’t want to have to deal with them in any sort of way. Now imagine that you are standing in front of a pond full of frogs in all different colors and sizes. You have to eat these frogs. This scenery is basically your life and your everyday routine.
What good does it do if you stand idly and don’t get on with what you have to do? It is a truth in life that we are not in possession of enough time to do everything we want to do, but we CAN do the things that are important. You are always going to be behind. You can never catch up with life, but you can learn to take advantage of it.
In the book Eat That Frog! Brian Tracy compares the scene of life to that of the frog pond we mentioned above. When you work up the courage and the will to eat the biggest of the frogs, the other frogs and what they can do to you will seem of little to no importance. For then, you have overcome the greatest challenge.
Now, you not only know that you are capable of eating those frogs, but you are capable of eating the biggest and ugliest of them all.
Simply put, you should start your day by doing the thing that you hate the most or the deed that you tend to postpone. When you are done with that, nothing can bring you down or come in the way of the rest of your day.
You will no longer feel anxiety or that nagging sensation in the corner of your mind that says you have to do something you hate but just can’t bring yourself to do it.
When you swallow that frog, which is the biggest of them all, you will no longer feel the need to cower behind your doubts and fears, even if you have a negative mindset towards life and existence.
A BIG HUG!

Important Note!
I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning. I have a very busy life but I am giving my best and believe me I have shared experiences that I have been coaching thousands of people and I know that the change of the Mindset should be daily. I am already grateful to see you giving upvotes to each other and you can see this with the fact that many already have 8, 9, 10 upvotes. But I'm sure that with the effort of all of us we will see a community with, 40, 50, 80 upvotes and for that everyone should get engaged so we can make it come true. I believe and we can! Resteem...
***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.
You all know the goal! We can reach: 50+ Upvotes each others!
Attention!!!
I'm reading all the meaningful comments from the posts.
I am here making a list of all of you who have helped build this community by voting for each other who write meaningful comments and soon I will respond to everyone with comment and thank you all because I can already see this spirit being built in this Positive Mindset community and help between all of you.
You will receive my upvote in all material and brief comments I will do this in all the posts I am following very closely and I can see what the people who are generous and contribute to this legacy that I am trying to build with all of you can become reality in a short time.
AND
First of all, I would like to thank all of you, who are the most active and proactive in this community, showing your generosity and always with meaningful comments. From now on I will always make a list of these incredible people who have helped to expand our goal of growing ever more.
And if you are not on this list, please, after making your comment, write in that comment: Include my profile in the list, because I do or want to be part of all this with all of you!
But I ask that if you are new around here you read many of the previous posts because they make it clear that we are building a community with respect among all, generosity and this blog is for those who really want to start moving their Mindset to positive and moreover be part of the growth of all of us who contribute to this blog. Please do not ask to include you in the list if you are just wanting votes or speculating because we want here people genuinely attuned to growth and good attitudes and as I have always said with Respect as the basis of all, generosity and positivity!
Remember the rules. First leave your comment meaningful and then leave your message that you want to be included in this comment. Everyone is welcome and I hope this list grows exponentially because this will be a reflection of everyone's growth. I really do not want to be able to update the list of so many people that can be included in it. Let's go together towards the 50+ upvotes to recognize the efforts of those who dedicate their time so that we can become stronger and leave a legacy of growth in our lives and in the lives of others!
ABOUT OUR LIST!!! WE NEED GROW THIS LIST! LET'S GO TOGETHER IN THIS COMMUNITY - RESTEEM!
I'm not going to put this list in all the posts because I do not quite understand why, but some people did not like me to tag them even though this list is a list of acknowledgment and thanks from the people I've observed being the ones who write meaningful comments , are generous voting for each other and contribute more to this family we are building here. So stay tuned to the text below and in the next posts.
