Hi, everyone! I just wanted to share this story. It’s about two frogs and the power of words.
Sometimes, we don’t pay much attention to what we say.
But the truth is that our words are more powerful than we think. Our words can turn normal individuals into presidents, and our words can turn heroes into cowards.
Take time to read this, and I promise you that your perspective on words will change.
”A group of frogs was 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 frog kept telling them to stop, that they were good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jump 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.”
This story teaches two lessons:
- There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
- A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to bring them down.
Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words… it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way, Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
