Designing dreams, serving pleasure & the story of the butterfly

As a simple and just an ordinary person, i do have dreams and always pray for the best in my life. None of us are born bringing more luck than others. Successfull only can be achieve from hard efforts and works in realizing our dreams, strengthened further by our faith and confidence. Motivational stories can lift us up, make us smile, encourage and motivate, and teach us valueable lessons. Here is a motivating story that can give you and me an inspirational to achieve our dreams. May my dreams and your dreams come true....InsyaAllah! Hopefully it can help you and me spark our motivational feeling!

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.

One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours

as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.

Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch it,
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body,
Neither happened!
In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around.
It was never able to fly.

What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand:
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of forcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it would be ready
for flight once that was achieved.

Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives.
Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.
We will not be as strong as we could have been
and we would never fly.
