Quote of the day:
“Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.” -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Consider:
Have you ever had a friend you wished so badly that you could help? I know I have. However, I have found that it is sometimes better to just listen and not try to fix them. Let them figure it out themselves or you might be denying them the opportunity to really fly as the below story brings out.
The cocoon of the emperor moth is flask-shaped. In order for the perfect insect to appear it must force its way through the neck of the cocoon in hours of intense struggling. It is believed that the pressure to which the moth's body is subjected is a provision of nature for forcing the juices into the vessels of the wings.
A person was witnessing this struggle once, and out of pity took the point of some scissors and snipped the confining threads to make the exit easier, but the moth's wings never developed, and it spent its brief span of life crawling instead of flying through the air on rainbow wings.
Let us not be shortsighted and look not with false pity on those who suffer. Instead inspire their courage in the midst of it by reminding them of the glory to come out of their adversity.
Wishing you all the best,
Coach Dana
