A friend of mine recently told me new beginnings were in store for her. She knew it – in her heart and soul. She felt she was on the cusp of breaking through to a new identity. A big shift was happening – she just knew.
She had done the work, big time. She took classes. She studied. She prepared. She said no to the things that no longer resonated. She cocooned. Even though she knew, she felt a void because the changes on the outside hadn’t quite caught up with the changes she felt on the inside.
Just like the caterpillar who turns into the butterfly – a dramatic metamorphosis was taking place inside. She was in a process of creating an entirely new being on the outside. But from her perspective, it hadn’t happened yet.
I said:
Accept and Appreciate where You are Now.
You’ve Created Space for the New to Come In.
Trust that “It’s” Happening.
There is nothing more magical than a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Truly. Real transformation takes time. There are phases. You can’t speed it up, even though you may want to. Little by little, changes happen. Some are subtle, some are not. At times, you’ll struggle or feel trepidation. Or want to throw in the towel. But if you are committed and willing to see it through, your transformation will take place. No Doubt.
You Gotta Trust.
You Gotta Be Patient.
You Gotta Believe.
You Gotta Stay the Course.
Are you ready to become the magnificent butterfly you’ve always wanted to be?
