Hello Monday…

Butterflies are masters of metamorphosis. They go through four stages of transition before you see them come out beautiful and colorful. They are significant symbols of transformation, freedom, and rebirth.

When we think it’s over for it as a caterpillar, it’s evolves into a beautiful butterfly. Maybe your life is presently experiencing transition. Transition can be hard and most times we can be caught unawares. It could be moving to a new place, starting over, it might be life’s struggles hitting you right left and center and you are wondering when will this ever end? Or it could be you coming from a background without a compass to navigate the world. It could be making life changes that are painful.

Butterfly teaches us that we can start from nothing at all and evolve into something beautiful. It teaches us that we can go through life’s trials and come out beautiful and not bitter. It teaches us to endure the process to our greatness. No matter what you are going through or the transitioning you might be experiencing, it is for you to evolve into something great.

It helps when you begin to see your challenges from a place of lessons and victory rather from a place of pains and bitterness. The last stage of the butterfly is almost the hardest when it’s trying to breakthrough it’s cocoon, it can struggle and struggle and get tired but it never gives up and the funny part of it is that? No matter how much it struggles, it best for anyone not to help it because any help could lead to the destruction of that butterfly eventually. That moments where it struggles to break out is nature’s way of training the butterfly and that’s how it learns to strengthen its wings.

We can be so eager to get out of situations and even seek help from people and things that can ruin us in the long run exposing us to premature greatness that won’t stand the rest of time.

Just like the butterfly, you are about to evolve but there is something between you and greatness which is process, patience and perseverance. It can be hard waiting on a miracle but if you will just trust the process, learn through it and keep your faith alive, you will come out greater.

Did you notice, the butterfly comes out beautiful and not bitter even after those life’s changes trauma? Meaning we don’t necessarily have to become our challenges and what we’ve been through shouldn’t become our identity. Stop mirroring your life through the pains, abuse, rejection, abandonment and loss. You are greater than that.

I know it’s not easy but you can do it. You are strong, brave and courageous. You have what it takes to come out beautiful and even if you are scarred, there is beauty in it. ” The problem is when you only see your scars but never see the beauty in your story”.

I Hope you are able to find strength and belief. You might be tired and standing still, the butterfly feels that way too when it’s trying to come out of it cocoon, you might even think it has given up but it is only gathering strength to break free and come out beautiful. There is strength in you and your pain is a gift that must never go to waste, turn it into purpose. Turn it into passion.

Like I always say,” you might tired, traumatized and triggered but you know what? you will triumph above them“. You are evolving and coming out. You will definetly come out great. The world might think you’ve given up, they may make jest of you but you know within that you building up strength for a come back and it would be massive. You won’t only do something different and unique but it will definetly be distinct!
