I hardly paid any attention to butterflies till I read the book " Family Wisdom" by Robin Sharma .In this beautiful book , the protagonist Julian Mantle and his sister Catherine receive a golden butterfly as a gift from their father.This is the trigger for me to notice colorful butterflies around me.This noticing gradually changed to admiration and now to joy.A sight of a butterfly makes me so happy and eventually makes my day beautiful.The most beautiful thing about butterfly is the way it flies. It has very delicate wings and yet it flies against the winds as if nothing can stop it in this world.It hardly cares the chaos around it.It knows only flying . Unstoppable !!
One day ,as usual, I encountered a butterfly on my way.That day I was very frustrated with life and my friend butterfly tried to make me happy by its presence. But I was in no mood to be happy.I cursed all the circumstances that are making me feel sad,mad,bad. In the midst of this cursing , the thought of butterfly came to my mind. How lucky the butterfly is!!It has nothing to do and it has no circumstances that make it feel sad, mad, bad.I wished I were a butterfly.
After pondering over butterfly for some time , the realization dawned to me that the butterfly evolved from a catterpillar.It was not born as a butterfly.How strange!!So to become a buterfly I have to first become a catterpillar.God's design of this Universe is so amazing.I never heard of anything like a catterpillar crying for being a catterpillar or for not being a butterfly.Then why am I crying ? I felt that like a catterpillar , there is definitely a butterfly hidden in me.To find out this hidden butterfly in me ,I need to have endurance of a catterpillar.Without a caterpillar there is no butterfly. This realization soothed me and brought me back to normal state.I felt awe towards catterpillar for its endurance and optimism and also truly understood the cliche "No Pain. No Gain"
Kudos to you my dear butterfly !! You make my life beautiful just by your presence . You give me strength by your silent urging " One day you are going to be a butterfly and you wil never be a cattepillar once you become a butterfly. So cherish this valuable moment of beign a catterpilar and trust God."
