Believe in the Possible 🦋

Poet Maya Angelou once said…

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

Today I implore you to think about those changes because the butterfly can be you.  For you to move from mediocrity to excellence, or from excellence to even more extraordinary performance, you have to undergo changes as profound as the metamorphosis of a caterpillar.

But to become the butterfly you want, you need to put behind you your old circumstances, and even the old you.  Focus Your Resources on Creating New Circumstances, that can be risky I know, it could also be scary.  You're leaving the comfort and security of the old cocoon and accepting the challenges and uncertainties of freedom.  It's a natural thing to return to our old ways if the new ones don't work out, because many of us often give up at the first sign of adversity, and often return to our cocoon, or the life we were trying to put behind us.

But a butterfly can't return to its cocoon, the moment it reaches the outside and flutters its wings, it is committed to a new type of existence.  It's life as a butterfly is not just a matter of what it does, it is also a matter of what it is.

So my friend, believe on this Monday the Art of the Possible.  Believe in the transformative power of effort.  Believe in the new you.  Be the butterfly that God intended you to be.  Have a great week.
