Be patient love. . . that could be yours.

I heard this story before and it really helped me, I hope it does the same for you. Now of course it is not word for word as the original story but I believe I got the just of it:

One fine summer day a humble man witness a butterfly struggling to get out of its cocoon.

The man attempted to help the butterfly, for his heart was big and meant no harm to the helpless insect. . .

While gently and carefully pealing back the remains of the cocoon the man accidently torn one of the wings on the butterfly. The butterfly was released but now the butterfly's flight is altered because of it's torn wing. What the man did not know is that the butterfly goes through a great deal of trouble to get out of its cocoon, its all just part of that stage in its transformation.

Moral of the story is sometimes in life we have to go through certain situations to make us stronger, to teach us, or even to show that we are on the wrong path. Sometimes we have to go through a struggle to open our eyes. People may try and help with nothing but love for you, but you have to know how to cope with it on your own, so you can escape from the obstacle and fly swiftly and gentle, as the monarch does. Also, finding and taking in too much help may "cripple" you, so next time an obstacle comes around ( because there will be obstacles) you may not know how to handle the situation cause that person or people may not be in your life or be "available" for that matter. So stay strong, and you will overcome anything. Be patient love. . . that could be yours :) -D. J Hazlett
