Beauty in the time of crisis
“
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the
changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. ” Maya Angelou:
The
ability to see any kind of hope and goodness in times of a crisis comes
with a unique kind of character. One that is fully ingrained in our
lives as we grow up .To some of us , I believe were raised to believe
nothing good can sprout out the most challenging times in life .
In order to achieve ultimate success and happiness in such a time , we
need to go through a series of life events and learn to cope with
stressful moment in our lives , despite not pleasing enough , as we
work to hone our skills and competence in what we do.
Looking
into the life cycle of a butterfly, we can clearly learn quite a lot
about our lives . Butterflies are simply amazing and gorgeous too . And
to be in their presence is an honor. For me, it symbolizes hope, love
and strength. Like in all thing in nature , the butterfly has many
lessons to share .
Imagine
the grand metamorphosis of the butterfly, Let’s relate the stages of
this experience to the various aspects of our lives; first the tiny egg
of potential, then the tireless caterpillar working toward that
potential,then the chrysalis allowing that potential to take shape, and
finally the butterfly who realizes that potential and takes flight.
In life, It’s much easier to sit on our full potential and languish
how unfair the world is , yet do nothing to change our circumstances
. We all have a variable potential to succeed , if only we would look
within to see how strong we are. Once we have discovered how capable we
are, now comes the time to put in the work. Its during this phase that
we mold the kind of future and life we want , by never ceasing and
remaining focus to the end goal.
Its
during this phase ,we work to improve our skills and experiences ,to
set ourselves apart from the rest of the crowd. Its in n the midst of
such a phase that the caterpillar does all the work and the butterfly
gets all the publicity. So true! We often admire the beauty of the
butterfly and rarely think about what it went through to get where it
is! Therefore embrace the struggle as you learn for its during such a
time our beauty is seen but less appreciated.
Its
my wish all learn to appreciate the beauty that come along with life’s
challenges as we strive to improve our lives and that of our families .
