A man found a new butterfly struggling to crawl out of its cocoon.
After carefully cutting an opening and extricating the butterfly, this small beauty died. Why? Because it is the struggle to get out of the cocoon that forces blood to pump through its veins and strengthen its wings.
When robbed of the struggle, the butterfly died.
The same principle applies ... mastering the delicate balance of encouraging without rescuing allows others to exercise their inner being and grow in strength - empowered by their personal achievements. ~ Michelle McKinney Hammond
