It all starts out with a tiny egg laid by the female butterfly, out of which the larva or caterpillar emerges. Its only job is to eat, and it does a very good job indeed eating and growing bigger and bigger. In fact, it grows so big that its skin cannot keep up with it, so the caterpillar has to shed its skin several times. Each time it re-appears from the old skin it looks a little different, more colorful and more alive. And finally, after five rounds of shedding old skin it is ready for its final metamorphosis from a lowly caterpillar to a gorgeous butterfly! There is much to be done in this final stage before the transformation is complete: wings are fully formed, antennae are formed and the chewing mouthparts of the caterpillar are transformed into the sucking mouthparts of the butterfly. This final state takes a bit of time, about 10-14 days, but when it’s finished and the magnificent new creature emerges, spreads its delicate wings and rises up to greet the sun – you know that it was all worth it!
Biology lesson, you ask? No, just an analogy: you see, you could be like this caterpillar, growing every day, shedding layer and layer of limiting beliefs about yourself and your abilities, stage after stage until you too are ready to spread your wings and live the life you have always dreamed about! Your SCRIPT holds you in shackles now; it confines you to imaginary boundaries that you bump into with every step you take. You feel trapped – yet all the while you know that there is a butterfly inside of you ready to experience the world.
In Chapter 5 of my book “7 Steps to Personal Fulfillment” I will show you how to release your shackles, how to shed your skin, and how to grow golden wings that will lift you to the heavens with the promise of a glorious life!
