From a Caterpillar to a Butterfly

“One day she got tired of squirming around on the ground with the other caterpillars and decided to go through the transformation that was required to become a beautiful butterfly. “~Coach Danielle

When a caterpillar is transforming to become a butterfly it goes through a life cycle and complete metamorphosis. One day, the caterpillar stops eating, hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon. Within its protective casing, the caterpillar radically transforms its body, eventually emerging as a butterfly. If disturbed before the process is complete it will hinder its transformation. This theory holds true when a person is changing to a higher level of spirituality and maturity. As with a caterpillar we start off at a certain level. Once we have outgrown that level and are being pushed to grow we go through a transformation often this means pulling yourself away from the world get still and quiet and allow GOD to place you into a new level of growth. The caterpillar enters into a cocoon and while in there it enters a dark quiet place where it begins its transformation into a beautiful butterfly. When we go through this transformation people think we are acting funny they think we are distancing ourselves because we think we are better than them when in reality it has absolutely nothing to do with them. When you’re tired of living the same mundane life that’s not producing any fruit and you make the powerful choice to change for the better understand everyone will not be on board with the new you.  Your celebrating your growth and they are secretly and sometimes openly hating on your growth why?  Some people are content with their lives not moving forward or growing and they are even more content when you stay stuck right beside them. Understand that once you enter your cocoon and begin your transformation there is no turning back. And no matter how many times you try to lower yourself back down your wings won’t allow you to stay down there long.  Butterflies never go back to being caterpillars once they receive their wings their journey is to fly high for the duration. If your fellow caterpillars are not ready or equipped to join you in their own cocoon know that once you emerge from your cocoon you’re no longer compatible with them anymore and they won’t like this. When God realizes they are no longer 
equipped to handle you he will remove them. Everyone  is not mentally equipped to embrace the fact 
that you've changed and matured and it’s okay it doesn't make them a bad person it just means they still have some growing to do. When you realize this set them free allow them to look for their cocoon and once they get their wings you can fly together.
