May you realize, embrace, and manifest your untapped Potential
To help us get a handle on the concept of potential, let’s look at the butterfly. There are three stages of life that a butterfly experiences before it is ever a butterfly although it was always intended to be a butterfly. Although it didn’t start out as a butterfly the potential to be was always there, through each and every stage of its existence, from its very existence as an egg it was encoded with butterfly DNA. Most of us only ever encounter this magnificent creature, this wonderful picture of transformation in two stages; as a caterpillar or in its successful stage as a butterfly having realized its full potential. The caterpillar lives a low and slow life, yet what lies before it- its future, its destiny is the life as a butterfly; free, high-flying living. The caterpillar, if it is to ever become a butterfly, must (1) realize its potential and (2) embrace the journey. The butterfly must willingly spin its chrysalis and go through the cocooning process to realize its full potential; then and only then can it enjoy the benefits and freedom of successfully realizing its potential.
Do you know that scientists have found caterpillars that have tried to go through Metamorphosis without going through the cocooning process; they became deformed and never realized their full potential. They matured into caterpillars with deformed wings sticking out of their bodies and were incapable of flying. See, in the cocoon, the butterfly goes through a process very short of death. This for us represents the process of really confronting self, dealing with our values, insecurities, and fears. While in the cocoon the caterpillar is liquefied and all that is left is potential; two discs that were coded into its DNA to survive this process. These two discs are the discs for the eyes or sight and the wings for flight. These two discs for us represent the need for us to lock in and stay focused on our goals, purpose, and destiny. The wings represent the full realization of potential, success, and fulfillment. Everything you need to become everything that you are destined to be is in you, you just have to embrace the process. In the process your potential will crystalize and manifest, leading you to true success and fulfillment.
