I love this little story about the way we can all view life.
It's amazing how many people wallow in their situations and sometimes we are too afraid to get out of them. We like our life and don't want to change it.
It is also all about our attitude to what life throws at us. How do we handle the every day items and the really weighty matters in our life.
Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl.
One was a wise an cheery soul;
The other one took a gloomy view
And bade his friend a sad adieu.
Said the other frog with a merry grin,
I can't get out, but I won't give in!
I'll swim around till my strength is spent,
Then I will die all the more content.
And as he swam, though ever it seemed,
His smuggling began to churn the cream
Until on top of pure butter he stopped
And out of the bowl he quickly hopped!
The moral you ask? Oh it's easily found:
If you can't get out; just keep swimming around.
Hang in There!
