The Story Of The Butterfly

A man found a cocoon of butterfly
One day a small opening appeared
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body from the tiny hole
Then it stoped, as it couldn't go further

So the man decide to help the butterfly
He took a pair of scissors and
snips of the remaining bits of cocoon
The butterfly emerge easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings

The man continued to watched it
expecting that any minute the wing would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body
Neither happened !
In fact the butterfly spend the rest of its life
crawling around
It was never able to fly

What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of reforcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it will be ready
for flight once that was achieved

Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives
Going through life without obstacle will cripple us
We would not be as strong as we could have been
and we will never fly
