Are you tired of the struggle?
"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."

Are you tired of the struggle?

When we hit times of struggle in our work or in our lives, it can sometimes feel like there isn’t an end in sight.

The caterpillar is actually a butterfly larva. Once it’s born, its only mission is to eat a lot so that it has the energy to move into and through its cocoon stage of development.

In that stage, the caterpillar literally dissolves into goo and transmutes those cells into a completely different form.

As the newly formed butterfly breaks through…

it’s actually the struggle out of the cocoon
that stimulates blood-flow to its wings
and strengthens them enough so it can fly.

So, when you see the beautiful, dainty butterfly floating effortlessly on the breeze, remember what it had to go through in order to do that.

Go forth.

Be who you are, now.

Gather the resources you need along the way.

Love what is, even if it's a bit struggly.

And know that it will strengthen you for what's to come...

Fly, beautiful, fly!
