Transformational Tuesday: It’s Okay to be a Caterpillar

I talk a lot about transforming from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Heck, I named this site after it. However, today I want to talk about being a caterpillar.  A caterpillar’s one goal is to eat as much as possible. Eating extensively helps caterpillars to survive the metamorphosis stage on its way to becoming a butterfly.  As such, caterpillars are in preparation their entire lives to go through a transformation and develop into a butterfly.  Some might say that’s what this journey called life is all about as well.  Preparing, growing, and transforming over and over again into the person we were meant to be. Into a butterfly.

As you’re working towards your goals and your breakthrough transformation don’t be discouraged by the stage you are currently in.  Perhaps like the caterpillar there is a specific purpose for where you are and a specific season when your transformation is coming.

It’s okay to be a caterpillar.  Caterpillars have a specific purpose, but the destiny of a caterpillar is always to become a butterfly. So, go ahead – Be a caterpillar. Just don’t stay one forever.
