Daily Gratitude: “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through.”

Not only that but we also judge, often harshly, their existence as a caterpillar. I can liken that to the development of many humans. They are less than desirable beings at a younger age and then through intense self work and much time and effort, they become totally transformed- they become butterflies in a sense.

Those are people I respect and admire. They are able to see they have faults and problems and they take action to improve. They are willing to work to pass through another stage.

Can you look back over your life and see the metamorphosis in you? Think about where you’ve come from. And see if there’s more you’d like to change. Self reflection and examination of your life and behaviors and beliefs is essential for continued growth.
