The Frog and the Princess is a very well-known fable since our childhood. It is a tale where a handsome prince was turned into an ugly frog by a spiteful witch. It is a tale of a curse that could be broken only if he was kissed by a princess, which was something that would never happen. But miracles do happen! The slimy frog was kissed by a beautiful princess and it turned into a handsome prince. The prince married the princess and they lived happily ever after.
When the beautiful princess had a choice to either kiss or ignore the ugly frog, she could have evaded. But she took a very bold decision. She took a chance to kiss the ugly frog even though there were no guarantees.
Just like how the princess kissed the wet, slimy ugly frog, we all have a frog or perhaps very many frogs to kiss in our journey of life. These frogs could be anything such as dealing with negativity, current problems, situations from past experiences, our doubts, fears, risks, commitments, etc. If these frogs are left unattended, over the course of time, they could precariously evolve and become major setbacks, stopping us from becoming a truly happy, healthy and joyful soul.
Think of the frogs in your life that you would need to embrace or deal with and use them to transform yourself into an amazing person that you could actually be.
