Must i struggle b4 i make it?....please go through this article patiently !! A Student in a prestigious University in Nigeria,found a cocoon of a butterfly at his Usual reading joint (a cool place with bush nearby where He reads immediately after lectures for the day) . Days later,an opening appeared, While studying, his mind was with the butterfly. For several hours as the new-born butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther! TIRED and GIVEN UP!!! Then the young man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a rusted nail He saw and created enough space for the butterfly. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body BUT a small and shriveled wings The youngman continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the additional 3hours the Boy spent reading crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to FLY. When the Boy got home that night, He went directly to his Grandpa and told him what happened..The Old Man smiled and replied...What you in your kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon! You should have let it STRUGGLE!! ☀LESSON: Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life...Challenges are the Breakfast of champions...Success itself is Failure turned inside Out! Tell me One Man (excluding those who inherited a fleet of companies or a fat bank account) who made impact in his generation without a story to tell (maybe its a boring story or not!) Ok, let me dish you some... →Soichiro Honda br /> was turned down at an Interview with Toyota? He was jobless for so many years. He began making scooters in his garage and today is the founder of Honda..yes! The Honda you know! →Akio Morita: many of you dont know him. His 1st product was a rice cooker. It failed to cook and burnt the rice instead. It sold only 100 pieces! Guess what? Today hes the owner of SONY...yeah, your TV and DVD maker..worth Billions! →Harland David Sanders br /> He invented a secret chicken recipe and tried to sell it cheap just to feed himself. It was turned down 1,009 times before a restaurant reluctantly accepted it..Well..Have you heard of Kentucky Fried Chicken? Thats him! →Walt Disney: He was sacked by his boss at a newspaper because he had no good ideas. He tried many other businesses and failed...He was bankrupt for many years. But you know the end dont you? Disneys 1 of the richest companies worldwide today. →Oprah Winfrey: she had to endure a rough and abusive childhood and suffered low self esteem. She was fired from her job because her boss said youre not fit for TV...well, shes now the richest and most influential woman alive and TVs greatest personality. I wonder how her boss feels now. ♦I can go On and On, but Here is the SECRET: All great men don’t waste a minute being weighed down by their challenges...They know it is a chance to make a success story of their own! If one window closes, they run to the next window — or break down a door. Hey! Know surely that it is not God that gives us these problems but the Devil (for the Devil has seen your great future and the impact you will make if you make it), but God allowed it because without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been..And we could never fly..dont forget, No WARRIOR without a WAR! So, whatever you may be passing through right now, all I wanna tell u is GET READY TO FLY! Hows been the weekend?
