Are you struggling?

Good morning my beauitful friends!!! =0) I really liked this story this morning in a way it was a sad one, but on the other hand it was a great perspective based on our challenges and journey to become healthy. We often struggle daily with trying to become beautiful in the mirror or to others. The struggle is what we need to endure to appreciate the beauty on the other side. Dont let someone cheat you and cut your way into beauty for you may not keep it or never achieve true beauty. Endure the struggle shed the weight become beautiful on the outside and fly like a beautiful butterfly. You all contain the beauty on the inside that you need to achieve greatness. Have a wonderful day my friends! Cheers! =0)


The Story of the Butterfly


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 squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.


The man continued to watch it,
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body,
Neither happened!
In fact the butterfly spent 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 forcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it would be ready
for flight once that was achieved.


Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives.
Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.
We will not be as strong as we could have been
and we would never fly.
