STRUGGLE is to prepare for the ROAD
A man, an avid Gardener saw a small Butterfly laying few eggs in one of the pots in his garden. Since that day he looked at the egg with ever growing curiosity and eagerness.
The egg started to move and shake a little.
He was excited to see a new life coming up right in front of his eyes.
He spent hours watching the egg now.
The egg started to expand and develop cracks.
A tiny head and antennae started to come out ever so slowly.
The man’s excitement knew no bounds.
He got his magnifying glasses and sat to watch the life and body of a pupa coming out.
He saw the struggle of the tender pupa and couldn’t resist his urge to “HELP”.
He went and got a tender forceps to help the egg break, a nip here, a nip there to help the struggling life and the pupa was out.
The man was ecstatic!
He waited now each day for the pupa to grow and fly like a beautiful butterfly, but alas that never happened.
The larvae pupa had a oversized head and kept crawling along in the pot for the full 4 weeks and died!
Depressed the man went to his Entymologist (insect specialist) friend and asked the reason. His friend told him the struggle to break out of the egg helps the larvae to send blood to its wings and the head push helps the head to remain small so that the tender wings can support it thru its 4 week life cycle.
In his eagerness to create results faster, the man destroyed a beautiful life!
Learning from the story
1. Every struggle we go through has a purpose behind it. Our efforts in struggle go long way to develop our strength to face life’s & businesses difficulties!
2. Our first effort should be to find that empowering purpose behind the struggle.
3. Sometimes even if we take the right steps, we can’t see desired results. We need not get impatient in those situations & destroy our happiness & life; in fact we just need to give more time to ourselves. If our actions are right, with time results will manifest themselves.
Questions to ask ourselves
1.How are my struggles helping me build what all strengths?
2.What empowering meaning & purpose can I give to my struggles?
3.How can I be patient and not become anxious on the road to achieve desired results?
