The Strength in Struggle

The Butterfly (Struggles): A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through

that little hole. Until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was stuck.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining

bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and

small, shriveled wings. The man didn’t think anything of it and sat there waiting

for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn’t happen.

The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly, crawling around with tiny wings
