Little Bobby was playing in the yard and saw a beautiful butterfly. When it landed he caught it and took it inside to show his mother.
"Mommy, Mommy, I want to show you the most beautiful butterfly I have ever seen!"
The little boy opened his hand to show his mom the butterfly, and found the butterfly all mangled and crumpled up.
The lesson is:
As long as the butterfly is flying freely, it is beautiful.
But when you try to contain or constrict it, it is "bye-bye butterfly"!
The same applies in our lives . . . in a relationship, marriage, or job.
As long as we are free to be ourselves with our own personalities, creativities and freedoms everything is more prone to prosper and grow.
Life is meant to be free. But freedom takes strength, courage, and persistence.
"Freedom is not the right to do as you please,
it's the liberty to do as you ought." -Anonymous
