Be the Butterfly.....

I have learned a valuable lesson. In some ways on my path to enlightenment, I was trying to fight my true nature. Yes, I am too nice, yes my heart is too soft, I forgive too easily, people walk all over me. It is true. But the basis for this is KINDNESS. This was a revelation of sorts for me. I know I am kind, but those other behaviors also come from that place. I have come to the conclusion, that this is probably never going to change ...and that is okay. Take the butterfly. Part of the caterpillar is still part of her. In fact it was a necessary and integral part of what the butterfly would ultimately become, and it is still part of her. It always will be ...so it is with us. Don't beat yourself up for these 'flaws'. They are gifts...given to us for a reason. Without them we will never truly BECOME.... I am finally getting there...it has been a long road. But it is OKAY to keep part of the caterpillar...In fact it is necessary. The potential of the butterfly was always there....it just needed to be READY. Keep the faith until you are ready....you will know when it happens. And it WILL happen Love, Mishka....
