The Frog Stay in Boiling Water

What do frogs have to do with self motivation and personal development ?

Here's an old school science experiment for you. Take two frogs, two pans of water and two burners. Now let the first pan of water come to boil then try placing the first frog into the boiling water.
What happens? he will hop out very quickly.


Now, take the second pot of water, set it on the burner and let it just get a little lukewarm. Now place the second frog in the lukewarm water. Let the water continue to get hot. The frogs will stay in the boiling water longer than the first one did.. Why is that? Because the change wasn't as drastic so was able to get used to the change in temperature quicker.


Your personal life is much the same way. You may have reached a point in your life when you are ready for change and are willing to put forth the effort to make that change happen. But it's usually the sudden shifts in your "climate", the drastic upheavels, that let you know there's a problem and it's time to try something different.

the slower changes aren't as noticable, and is one reason why you are usually able to stay in a painful situation longer than you should. Like the second frog, you don't realize the water's getting hotter until it's boiling over.

When it comes to changing a situation you are in, pain is a great motivator. You finally see the warning signs when things get too rough to handle any longer. For instance, when do you usually realize that you need to go on a diet? When none of your clothes fit you any longer. Or when do you realize that you should quit smoking? When you can't walk a block without struggling for breath.

The only time most of us ever attempt self motivation is when the whole world is crashing downaround us. The biggest reason you don't like to change is because it can be very painful at times. But the truth is that change is even more painful when you choose to ignore it.

Change will happen, like it or not. Throughout your lifetime, you are going to experience different turning points and change is going to occur, whether for the better or worse, whether you want to admit it or not.

So if change is going to occur anyway, wouldn't it be better to change because you want to instead of because you have to? Rather than waiting for the climatic disaster to hit, keep your eye out for the small details that are telling you that change is getting ready to happen.

For instance, if you notice that you are spending more money each week than you can reasonably afford, start working on managing your money better and quit spending so much on frivilous items. Don't wait until your car is repossessed or your lights are turned off.

Don't be like the frog who didn't realize change was happening until he got burnt.Change is goingto occur, whether you like it or not, so take control of your life, practice some self motivation and make the changes happen that you want to happen.
