Who is stopping you from success? A frog

Hello Everyone!

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t aspire for success. Yet, no all are successful. So, there must be some mistake which is preventing everyone from achieving success.

Let us relate this with a classic story. A frog living in an ocean once came out and visited another frog in a well. The 2 greeted each other. The well frog asked another one as to where he lived.

I live in an ocean – said the ocean frog proudly. The well frog asked – how large is it? Then he jumped inside his well and asked whether ocean was that large.

The ocean frog replied that ocean was much larger than the jump. The well frog jumped even higher but still ocean frog mentioned that it is even larger. Finally, the well frog moved across the well and asked if ocean was that large. The ocean frog replied that millions of such well would not equal ocean in terms of depth, volume and even outreach.

The well frog refused to agree to that. He could not imagine world outside the well. He accused the ocean frog of falsehood. The ocean frog told him to move out of the well and see the outer world. While the well frog was reluctant initially, he finally agreed to move out. Then he realized that world outside was million times bigger than his well.

We are primarily same as frog inside the well. This frog within us is stopping us from success. We know what our well is, who created it, when it came into existence, the surface area, circumference, volume – we know everything related to this well. We don’t want to see the world outside this well.

This well can be anything – it can be our nation, it can be our friend circle, relationship, our thought direction, culture, society etc. We chose not to move out of this well and fail to lack the beauty unseen in the well we are into.

Unless we move out of this world, we probably won’t achieve success because most of the times, success comes to those who see the unseen reality.

    • This is so inspiring. We need to foresee the unseen things. Most of us have the idea on what inspire for a person to be successful. Some people may stop the person in stepping up to the ladder to success. It is not also considered a detour if we continue to learn how to achieve things in our lives.

      The unseen things can be considered our dreams to be successful. There are so many hindrances that may come along the way. But we have the power to control oneself in aspiring something. Time will not be wasted if we know how to handle the constraints in achieving the ultimate goal in life.

      It is so inspiring to witness the experiences of successful people. The real truth will always come from within. The inner desire can be attainable to reach the stars and rips all the desire if we continue to believe in ourselves. We live to be inspired and learn how live with inspiration.
