Lessons from the Butterfly

Butterflies start off as caterpillars feeding on leaves until they finally cocoon themselves turning into butterflies.  The process of the butterfly breaking out of the cocoon is quite strenuous and can take a while to do so.  However, this process actually strengthens the butterfly’s wings and allows the butterfly to have the strength in it wings to fly away from the cocoon.

If someone decided to help the butterfly in the cocoon by removing the layers of the cocoon, the butterfly would be denied the opportunity to strengthen its wings. Once free from the cocoon the butterfly would fall to the ground and die.

When helping others never deny them the opportunity to strengthen their wings, so they too can fly like a butterfly.
