Greetings,
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly”.
I recently came across this English proverb on a gift card when I was browsing for a birthday card for my wonderful granddaughter.
I took extra interest in this wise saying, as only a few evenings earlier I had watched on TV a brilliant documentary featuring Sir David Attenborough, about the beauty of flying.
The Wonder of Natural Navigation
David explained about the wonder and magical flying abilities of animals and insects (including butterflies).
Painted Lady butterflies fly on their flight paths for three thousand miles to West Africa from Europe – with an inbuilt compass and directed by the sun in just a few days!
I feel there is a message for all of us in this proverb!
Our Inner Compass for Transformation
Being the “caterpillar” is necessary preparation for us to become our own unique “butterfly”. We all have an inbuilt compass to transform ourselves and fulfill our highest potential, being directed by our own sun (light of knowing).
We need to have belief in ourselves and trust we are capable of magnificent achievements.
We do not need to remain as a “caterpillar”. Change happens when we are living the best we can be at every moment and have powerful belief in our ultimate destiny (to be a “butterfly”).
Embracing Your New Self
Perhaps, like me, you can change your name to reflect your new persona in the beautiful “butterfly” state of being. Or change your environment – or even just your habits and way of thinking.
Live at your glorious best!
Warmest wishes for a magical month.
