Hanging Upside Down in the Dark Could be a GOOD Thing

Nature is truly amazing, isn’t it?
If we keep our eyes…
and our minds…
open……

Take the caterpillar, for instance…



Its only job is to take in nourishment…
Digest it...
And grow.
(It’s slow moving, too.)

Then one day…

Something deep inside of him says.....

it’s TIME!!!

Time to get to work.
Time to use all he’s taken in…

AND

DO HIS LIFE’S WORK!

So he stops crawling around
From leaf
To leaf...
FOCUSES.......
And gets busy doing

WHAT HE WAS BORN TO DO!!

Transform...

Change......

Show the world what he already is!!!



Doesn’t look like much from the outside,
does it?

But inside……
Yes, INSIDE

Day and night
Sunny or stormy

CHANGE is taking place!!!!!!!!!!

Even though no one can see it
(Except God and the caterpillar, that is)

Hanging tenuously from a branch............
The caterpillar is doing his life’s work.

Alone.

In the dark.

By himself.

He KNOWS that no one else can do it for him.


Then one day....

One MAGICAL day........


All that hard work pays off!!
All that time working alone

and

Hanging upside down in the dark

Was worth it!

His Life Mission is accomplished
He emerges...



AND

Takes flight!



He’s done what he was born to do…

And

HE’S FREE!!!


Seems to me there’s a lesson for us here...

FEED your mind (take on nourishment)
Focus
And even though no one can see......YET
Even though you’re alone...
Keep working (APPLY what you’ve learned)


I know, I know........
It's not going fast enough for you

And besides........

It’s no fun hanging upside down in the dark!!!!!!!!

BUT

Deep Inside......

You KNOW what you were born to do!
So keep at it!


Despite the ridicule
In the face of struggle
And nagging fears

Because you know
that you KNOW!

Just like that caterpillar…

BE who you already are
DO what you’re born to do
HAVE what you’ve always desired…

AND

BE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!



Looking for a great place to feed your mind?

Come hang with us!

Just tell 'em I sent you! ;)

  1. Cathie, this is just totally wonderful and amazingly awesome! You've come so far in 3 months - I'm envious and irritated with myself for still being stuck in the starting blocks.
    Thank you for being so inspiring.
    You're going to be HUGE!!
