”One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon;
a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to
force its body through that little hole.
Then, it seems to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as
far as it could and it could not go any
further. So
the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened
the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.But it had a
withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.The man continued to watch
because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and
expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.
Neither happened!In fact, the butterfly spent
the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings.
It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill
did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required
for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were nature’s way of forcing
fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready
for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need
in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we
could have been. Never been able to fly. Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we
need in our life.
If we
were allowed to go through our life
without any obstacles, it would
cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been
able to fly.
I
asked for Strength...and I was given
difficulties to make me strong.
I
asked for Wisdom...and I was given problems to solve.
I
asked for prosperity...and I was given a brain and brawn to work.
I
asked for Courage…..and I was given obstacles to overcome.
I
asked for Love...and I was given troubled
people to help.
I
asked for Favors...And I was given
Opportunities.
“I
received nothing I wanted...But I received everything I needed."
Live
life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them.
