Challenges and struggles are part and parcel of life. We all need to
learn how to overcome challenges and struggle in order to move forward in life.
They actually help to strengthen and make us stronger. A person who has never
struggled and overcome challenges is a person who isn't moving forward in life.
He or she will break down the moment he is exposed to struggle and challenges.
The following story describes challenges and struggles are part of
life:
A teacher was teaching his students on how a caterpillar turns into a
beautiful butterfly. He told the students that in the next few hours, the
butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon, but no one should help it.
The teacher left the classroom leaving all his students inside. The
students were waiting anxiously until finally the big moment came. The
butterfly began to struggle to get out of the cocoon. One of the students took
pity and decided to go against the advice of the teacher by assisting the
butterfly out of the cocoon. He could not bear to see the butterfly struggle
and decided to break the cocoon.
Shortly afterwards all the students were shocked to see that the
butterfly had died. When the teacher returned and found out what had happened,
he explained to the students that by helping the butterfly, they had actually
killed it because the butterfly needed to struggle to help develop and
strengthen its wings. Without going through the process, the butterfly will
die.
The above story is simple but it brings across a powerful message.
Human beings are the same, we all need to struggle and overcome our challenges
in life. We will become stronger every time we overcome our challenges. So if
you encounter a challenge in your life right now, don't run away from it, face
your challenge and develop yourself through the process.
You can only have abundant life if you develop strength and courage
through struggle and challenges!
