Trials in life can be tragedies or triumphs, depending on how we handle them. Triumphs
don't come without effort.
A biology teacher was teaching his students how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He told the students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon. But no one should help the butterfly. Then he left.
The students were waiting and it happened. The butterfly struggled to get out of the
cocoon, and one of the students took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out of the cocoon against the advice of his teacher. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it didn't have to struggle anymore. But shortly afterwards the butterfly died.
When the teacher returned, he was told what happened. He explained to this student that
by helping the butterfly, he had actually killed it because it is a law of nature that the
struggle to come out of the cocoon actually helps develop and strengthen its wings. The
boy had deprived the butterfly of its struggle and the butterfly died.
Apply this same principle to our lives. Nothing worthwhile in life comes without a struggle. Even if we get it won't last long.There are times that we need to struggle, to rid ourselves of the acids that make up sadness, fear, and anger. Struggles will make us stronger and help us to develop our attitude and strengthen our character. Everything is difficult before it becomes easy. This is where winners and losers are differentiated.Losers will quit and give up at this stage.Winners......
