THE COCOON

I once read a story of a man who saw a young butterfly that was struggling to get out of its cocoon. After sometimes, he thought of helping the poor little creature. This he did by tearing the cocoon apart thereby freeing the butterfly.
It was after he tore the cocoon that he noticed that the butterfly has an extra-large abdomen that prevented it from flying. The cocoon was actually there to shape it to size by expelling some of the body fluid. This man unfortunately did more harm than good to the butterfly.
That's why I'll like you to see those difficulties, those challenges, those hard times, those financial constraints, those delays, those disappointments, those pains, those frustrations of yours as 'cocoon'. They are there to shape you!!
There is certainly no glory without a story. If you don't know, I'm telling you now that that gold that shines so bright went through fire of some thousand degree Celsius. Whatever you're going through now is a process. Trust me; you're coming out glorious and like the eagle, you'll soar so high!!!
