"Two caterpillars each spun a cocoon. In that protected atmosphere they were transformed into beautiful butterflies. Just when they were ready to fly free, their fears gripped them.
One butterfly, being so fragile, thought to herself: 'Life outside has so many dangers. I can be torn to bits and eaten by a bird. If a predator doesn't kill me, I might be torn apart in a storm. A lightning bolt could strike me dead. The rain could weigh on my wings and send me crashing to the ground. Besides, spring is ending.
What if the nectar runs out?
Who will help me?'
The risks were in fact many, and the little butterfly had reason to be scared. Frightened, she decided not to leave. She remained in her protected cocoon, but having no means to survive, she died a sad death, starved, dehydrated and, worst of all, walled in by the world she had spun....
The other butterfly, was also apprehensive. She was afraid of the world outside, knowing that many butterflies didn't last a day outside the cocoon. But she loved freedom more than she feared the dangers that could befall her. And so she set off, flying in the direction of all the dangers.
She chose to be a wanderer in search of the only thing that defined her essence...."
This story really inspired me to go & achieve dreams, live life in & out thoroughly, be unafraid to take risks & embrace failures. Give chance to chances and say, 'What the fuck' , you know.. Now,.... DANCE!
