Arise
Don't look back
Push forth
Step out of the cocoon
You've always said, I will do it soon

I did a study about the life cycle of a butterfly
Interestingly, the pupa develops into a butterfly while in the cocoon
But after, it has to break out of the cocoon
Pumps blood into the soft wings
Fly... Master it's flying skills
Then search for a mate to reproduce

It's okay to stay locked in to develop some skills
Like the butterfly, the skills receive blood outside the comfort or discomfort of the cocoon
Mastering of the skills take place during flight
Like take off, hit against a tree, fall
And take off again
Finally, the skills start to produce results
Just like the butterfly, after mastering flight

Usually, the cocoon always feels warm and comfy but
Life outside of it is challenging, exciting and usually productive
Fear of the unknown is the greatest impediment
But on the other side of fear is fulfilment!
