Be Patient With Growth & Transformations

The life cycle of a butterfly beautifully illustrates the complexity of growth and change.

From egg to adult, each stage accomplishes a different goal.

This process takes anywhere from a month to a year depending on the type of butterfly.

The mother lays her eggs on exactly the type of leaf the caterpillar will eat once it hatches.

In the pupa stage, the caterpillar devours the leaf it was born on and continues to grow.

Then, within a cocoon-like casing, much more change takes place so that

when the metamorphosis is complete, a butterfly will emerge.

This entire transformation cannot be rushed.

Each stage is necessary for the next one to begin.

So it is with the growth and changes you go through in your life.

Be patient as you acquire the skills and knowledge necessary before moving to the next level of opportunity.

So long as you continue to work on becoming the best YOU that can be,

you will be as spectacular as a butterfly! (S. Finelli)
