Becoming a Butterfly

September 13, 2011

It doesn’t happen overnight, that’s for sure.

It takes time for us to transform the very parts of ourselves that we deem unlovable and unmanageable. We are all a “work in progress” – some more than others. It is in the acknowledgment of who you really are that sets you on the path of uncovering your true self.

As Blake Lively has quoted, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a beautiful butterfly.” Transformation happens right underneath our noses. It is a process. A process of uncovering ourselves. A process where we peel back the superficial layers to expose the vulnerability and real beauty of who we are.

Just when you think your “dark” couldn’t get darker, you crash and hit rock bottom only to discover that you never needed the very cocoon you were suffocating in. The cocoon was of your own building and making. Just when you realize you had no room left to move or breathe in that space, remarkably you are freed. The moment you decide you are ready, your wings take flight. And in that moment, the beautiful new butterfly is free to breathe new life into his journey.

What’s holding you back?

… you walk into walls. It’s common sense. When you’re not looking where you’re going, you’re most likely going to end up somewhere you don’t want to be. Most of us sleepwalk our way through our lives — running the mouse wheel of life. We are so busy trying to make a living that we […]

It’s Not About Making The Right Choice

… it’s about accepting the choice you’ve already made. Our life’s path is made up of choices and there are no mistakes when it comes to making choices, because there are no right or wrong choices, there are only different choices. Don’t get caught up in the choice you’ve made – make it and move on. […]

Looking Back to the Past

… is only helpful to the extent it allows you to move forward into your future.  If it doesn’t, it keeps you back. Your life is only ever in front of you, never behind you. The past can be an informative tool if we don’t get trapped in it. If you want to uncover the […]

A Mid-life Crisis

… requires a mid-course correction. A mid-life crisis can happen at any age, but the wisdom here is that the secret to healing it, is in the way we define it. Life naturally has its ups and downs, and life is constantly asking you to define who you are in relationship to it. You’re never […]

When You’re in the Flow

… everything moves with you. And when you are not, nothing works. When you are in the flow of your life – flowing downstream — everything flows along side you. When you are out of that flow – pushing upstream — things are much more difficult. How do you know the difference? Ask yourself how […]
