(ThyBlackMan.com) Life is filled with struggle and we are filled with the ability to overcome every struggle we face. No human being wants to struggle, but the truth is the easy road keeps us stagnant and dependent on others, not just for our everyday needs, but for the advancement of our future goals and accomplishments.
I read a story once about a man who was watching a butterfly struggling to
come out of it’s cocoon, he decided to help by taking a small blade and cutting the cocoon open and of course this helped the butterfly to emerge much quicker. The man smiled at his great accomplishment of helping this struggling creature emerge. But the butterfly never flew away, it’s wings never fully unfolded and it just crawled around for a while and eventually died.
The poor man didn’t realize that the process of struggling to come out of the cocoon was needed for the little butterfly to strengthen his wings and begin his new life after it’s transformation from a lowly crawling creature to something more beautiful that would soar above it’s former life.
The struggles that we face in our lives are designed to give us the strength to soar above our past into greater success. We are born in this world not just to eat, sleep, work 9 to 5 and die. We were all born to produce greatness to make manifest our great gifts and inspire the world to be a better place. But struggle is necessary if we are going to reach or great purpose of our lives.
