Who we listen to determines whether we achieve our destiny! How many people have failed, or even failed to try, to achieve their potential because someone said “You’ll never do it!”

Two psychiatrists met at their 20th university reunion. One looked young and vibrant, while the other looked old and worried. "So what's your secret?" the older looking psychiatrist asked. "Listening to other people's problems every day, all day long, for years on end, has made me an old man." The younger looking psychiatrist replied, “It’s really quite simple, DON’T LISTEN!”

The world is filled with people who mock the efforts of those seeking to achieve great things for God. In 2008 let God’s voice fill your ears not that of doubters: "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer. 29:11)

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a climbing competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants. The race began.

No-one in the crowd believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. They said such things as:

"It’s way too difficult!"
"You’ll never make it to the top".

One by one the tiny frogs began collapsing. A few tenaciously continued climbing higher and higher. The crowd continued to yell

"It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs became discouraged and gave up. However, one frog continued higher and higher and higher. For some reason, this one wouldn't give up! At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top! Then all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

It turned out…
THE WINNER WAS DEAF!
