Have you ever wondered what life is, what does life look like for me, what would will I become. How do I fit in, whats my place or purpose. Take a look at a butterfly!
1. THE EGG
They begin like we do, they start as an egg, having no idea of existance, they don't know what they are, what they are going to become. Its all a mysetry. But they are growing into something beautiful they just don't know it yet. Take the egg as a waiting period, preparing you for this life, all the cells making up every part of you, your genes, your look, your personality all starts within the egg.
2. THE CATERPILLAR
The next stage of life, just hatching not knowing where to start, just beginning, learning and moving around just trying to survive. I feel this is like the newborn stage in humans, its a very cruical part of your life, needing food and just being carful. In a caterpillars newborn stage they have to survive predators and being safe. Making sure they do everything to continue and grow! Like how our parents do for us making sure we are safe, and being taken care of so you can grow strong! Caterpillars are in a transitional stage still more to grow into, still more to become! They are more than just caterpillars but still at this stage they have no idea. their life is a mystery every stage!
3. THE CHRYSALIS
Another crucial stage of the caterpillars life! The resting period, the big transition stage! Its like the toddler stage, the child is flourishing, growing! But its the most slowest stage of life, 1 to 3 years of age just taking time learning and figuring things out. In this stage of the caterpillars life is a slow point of their life too. They are becoming who they are supposed to be, like a toddler, their personality is forming, their growing into their purpose. Time kind of stops, a resting period for the caterpillar, time to transition to the next stage of life!
4. The Butterfly
This is the last stage of the caterpillar, it made it to the biggest transition of its life, found its purpose, the start of something new! It hatched into a beautiful butterfly, spread its wings for the first time and ready to live out its life, it has no idea where its wings will take them, which path it will go but it will find its way through. A mystery but eventually they will get to where they are going, they don't give up, they keep flying and soaring no matter what comes their way!
The just is, life is like a butterfly we have so many stages of life to get to where we want to be, to who we want to be! The stages of our life will help us spread our wings and fly! Every time you see a butterfly imagine its you, imagine your life and how far you've become, imgaine the hardships, the good times! Imagine your story! And when you imagine it and watch the butterfly fly away just imagine yourself soaring and getting to where you want to be! Keep flying and finding your purpose! You will get there, you will find your place!

“This Story Will Change the Way You Think”
Ethan had always felt like life was moving forward without him. Every morning, he woke up with plans and went to bed with disappointment. He worked hard, stayed honest, and tried to do the right things, yet nothing seemed to work. Promotions went to others. Opportunities appeared for people who seemed less deserving. Over time, Ethan began to believe that effort didn’t matter—that success was reserved for a lucky few. He often told himself, “Maybe I’m just not meant for more.” One evening, after another long and tiring day, Ethan missed the last bus home. With no other choice, he started walking. The city was unusually quiet, and the streets felt longer than usual. As he passed a small tea stall near a closed bookstore, he noticed an elderly man sitting alone, slowly turning the pages of an old notebook. The notebook caught Ethan’s attention. Its pages were yellow, but every line was written carefully, as if each word mattered. “Are you writing a story?” Ethan asked. The old man looked up and smiled. “No,” he said gently. “I’m rewriting my life.” That answer confused Ethan, but he sat down anyway. “What does that mean?” Ethan asked. The old man closed the notebook. “For years, I blamed the world for everything I didn’t become. Then one day, I realized the story I kept telling myself was the real problem.” Ethan felt uncomfortable. The words felt personal. The old man continued, “Tell me, young man—what story do you tell yourself every day?” Ethan hesitated. Then he spoke honestly. “That no matter how hard I try, it won’t be enough.” The old man nodded slowly. “And so life agrees with you.” That sentence hit Ethan harder than he expected. “What do you mean?” he asked. “Life listens,” the old man replied. “Not to your words—but to your beliefs. If you believe effort is useless, you will unconsciously prove yourself right.” Ethan laughed nervously. “So you’re saying my thoughts control my life?” “No,” the old man said. “Your thoughts control your actions. And your actions shape your life.” The rain started falling lightly. People rushed past, but Ethan stayed. For the first time in a long while, he felt like someone was speaking the truth he had been avoiding. The old man opened his notebook and showed Ethan a page. It had two columns. On the left side, it said: What I Fear On the right side, it said: What I Can Control “Most people,” the old man explained, “live on the left side. They fear failure, rejection, and judgment. Few people live on the right side—where effort, learning, and patience exist.” That night, Ethan walked home thinking deeply. He realized how often he replayed his mistakes, how often he compared his life to others, and how rarely he focused on what he could improve today. The next morning, Ethan made a small decision. He stopped saying, “Why does this always happen to me?” Instead, he asked, “What is this teaching me?” At work, he stopped waiting for motivation and started building discipline. He arrived earlier, learned skills outside his job, and asked questions instead of pretending to know everything. Some days were painful. Old habits tried to pull him back. There were moments when quitting felt easier than continuing. But Ethan remembered the notebook. What can I control? He couldn’t control promotions. He couldn’t control opinions. But he could control his effort. Months passed. Slowly, things began to shift—not dramatically, but meaningfully. Ethan gained confidence. His work improved. People started noticing his consistency. One afternoon, his manager called him into the office. Ethan expected criticism, but instead, he received an opportunity to lead a small project. It wasn’t a reward—it was a test. Ethan accepted. The project was difficult. Mistakes were made. Pressure was constant. But for the first time, Ethan didn’t run from responsibility. He faced it. The project succeeded. That success didn’t make him rich. It didn’t make him famous. But it changed something far more important. Ethan no longer saw himself as a victim of circumstances. Years later, Ethan walked past the same tea stall. The bookstore was still closed. The city still rushed. But the old man was gone. Ethan smiled, understanding the lesson at last. Life had never been against him. Life had been responding to the story he believed. When he changed the story, life changed the direction. Final Lesson Change the story you tell yourself—and your life will follow.
