      The Frog's Blog

Hi friends. This blog is a labor of love and I want to continue writing every day for a long time to come. But I need a little help. The fees to maintain this website are getting costly for a little frog. If you enjoy reading my blogs, will you please donate a dollar or two, or whatever you can, to help me keep this site (and blog) up and running? I'm on PayPal at irwinquagmirewart@gmail.com. Thank you!

We all have fears and self-doubts. I'm willing to bet that those fears and doubts aren't based on anything concrete, but come from things you've learned or been told along the way. Take my cousin Doolitle Dart, for instance. He got his first name because everyone, including his mother, thinks he's lazy; do little. I, on the other hand, believe that Doolittle is really just a product of his beliefs. If, every day, you're told that you're lazy, unattractive, worthless, or whatever, you'll come to believe it...no matter what the reality is. Parents, especially, have to be very careful about what they tell their children; being small sponges, they absorb everything and believe what their parents tell them to be the absolute truth. I've started calling my cousin, Doomuch. I invite him to join me on trips. At first, he was hesitate to try out new things but slowly he's getting some confidence that he can anything he sets his mnd to. He's discovering that he actually likes adventure, and I find him to be wonderful company. His views about himself won't change overnight, but I am hopeful, in time, that Doolittle will start to see himself as the colorful, vibrant, and energetic frog that he was born to be.
How about you? What limiting beliefs do you have? The best way to face those fears and self-doubts, isn't to ignore them, but to face them head-on. Look them straight in the eye. Tell them they're not true and that you will no longer accept what they are saying; that you know the real truth about yourself. After doing this a few times, you'll soon find those limiting beliefs will pack up their baggage and leave. Good riddance, I say.
It's exhillarating to discover who you were born to be; not the person, or frog, that others have mistakenly led you to believe was you. Self-discovery is a beautiful thing. Try it. You'll be amazed at how frog-tastic you really are! Just ask Doolittle.
