… and so the saying goes, we must kiss a number of frogs to find the Prince, but who in all truthfulness wants to kiss a frog? There is nothing pleasant, absolute nothing about kissing a frog, I don’t even see what you learn from the process. There is no appeal, is it the smell, the look, the taste, the manner of a frog or what exactly? It all seems a pointless painful ordeal.
So I am on frog no 13 (unlucky for some), it just turned out he is not the prince, yet again! I must admit he seemed very promising but no, he isn’t. To say I am tired, frustrated is an understatement, I am fed up of the whole frog kissing business. I just want the Prince, period! The way I am going, I will soon be referred to as Mrs Frog . The cynic in me says there ain’t no Prince, there are all frogs looking for a kiss or if I am lucky I will get a hybrid version, part frog part Prince, you know, a part time Prince/frog combo. I guess my frustration is ‘why am I always sure that the latest frog is the Prince, until he is not?’ Why do we think the latest network marketing is the one that will open all doors?
So frog 13 is definitely not it, I just walked out of my house and I can see another 2 frogs, yes 2 not 1 staring at me. What do they want? They know they are not the Prince but yet they wouldn’t mind a kiss. I am the one that need to know as well. I guess all that frog kissing should come in handy, process of elimination should be swift and brutal. From afar I should know the odour, the kiss is uncalled for.
In life atimes we have to go through a long winded journey to get to the store! We have to try a number of businesses/ventures to find the right one, we have to view loads of properties to find our home, our heart has to flutter wrongly before it reaches home, …. etc. It is painful but necessary process, every time we face yet another failure, another dead end, another wrong move, let us not cast away our faith or hope that our ‘Prince’ is out there for us, we learn by the things we suffer, our wrong choices, false starts, so called ‘stupid’ choices or decisions are all learning processes. So be of a good courage, your prince is out there waiting and maybe, just maybe the next frog will be him.
‘Prince’ is just allegory, typification or symbol for whatever your heart desires and ‘frog’ represents the challenges, false starts, weary stories etc
Keep kissing!
