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.
Then it seemed to stop making any progress…
It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further..
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..
But it had a swollen body and small,
Shriveled wings…
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that…at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body… Which would contract in time…
Neither happened!!!
In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around.
With a swollen body and shriveled wings…
It never was able to fly…
What the man, in his kindness and haste…
Did not understand was that the restricting cocoon…and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening…
Were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready…
For flight once it achieved freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.
If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles… It would cripple us…
We would not be as strong as what we could have been…
We could never fly!!!
Stay positive…. Good things are coming on your way!
So inspiring and positive post dear! We should sometimes wait for the right moment to come rather than moving in a haste..everything has its own pace to get fruitful..

Struggles and achievements in our lives are the two sides of the same coin. Achievements whitout struggle give no taste to success and it can’t be called success as well
