Manufacture Your Day by BEING OPEN TO BECOME MORE
How much do YOU want to fly high?
Personal transformation takes courage, strength and the willingness to leave your comfort zone behind.
When something is easy we don’t learn and we don’t grow. True growth in our life experiences happens mainly through hardships and struggles and learning how to overcome them in the best possible way. These difficulties strengthen our minds and help us to become the person we are meant to be.
Today I would like to share “The Lesson of the Butterfly” by Paulo Coelho.
I hope you enjoy this powerful message!
“A man spent hours watching a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon. It managed to make a small hole, but its body was too large to get through it. After a long struggle, it appeared to be exhausted and remained absolutely still.
The man decided to help the butterfly and, with a pair of scissors, he cut open the cocoon, thus releasing the butterfly. However, the butterfly’s body was very small and wrinkled and its wings were all crumpled.
The man continued to watch, hoping that, at any moment, the butterfly would open its wings and fly away. Nothing happened; in fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its brief life dragging around its shrunken body and shrivelled wings, incapable of flight.
What the man – out of kindness and his eagerness to help – had failed to understand was that the tight cocoon and the efforts that the butterfly had to make in order to squeeze out of that tiny hole were Nature’s way of training the butterfly and of strengthening its wings.
Sometimes, a little extra effort is precisely what prepares us for the next obstacle to be faced. Anyone who refuses to make that effort, or gets the wrong sort of help, is left unprepared to fight the next battle and never manages to fly off to their destiny.”
