One day, a man found a butterfly that was starting to hatch from it's cocoon. He sat down and watched the butterfly for hours as it struggled to force itself through a tiny hole. Then, it suddenly stopped making progress and looked like it was stuck.
Therefore, the man decided to help the butterfly out. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small shriveled wings.
The man thought nothing of it and he sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly.
However, that never happened. The butterfly spent the rest of it's life unable to fly, crawling around with small wings and a swollen body.
Despite the man's kind heart , he didn't understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small hole were ways of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into wings to prepare itself for flying once it was free.
Don't feel angry or feel rejected simply because you are struggling. One day you will fly.
