How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? (A tad off piste)
‘ A frog decided to reach the top of a tree.

All the frogs shouted ” it’s impossible, it’s impossible.
Still the frog reached the top of the tree.
How? Because he was deaf and he thought everyone was encouraging him to reach the top.
Be deaf to negative thoughts, if your aim is to reach your goal.
