If you ever saw a young butterfly trying to get out of its cocoon, you'll find that it's not an easy process. Sometimes it can take hours just to break the shells of the cocoon.

But here's the thing:

If you try to help the butterfly by loosening up the grip, yes, you will ease the process, and the butterfly will be release.

> However, it won't fly. Rather, the slow glide to the ground will be the only time it will experience "flight".

You see, during the difficult process of breaking out from the cocoon, is when the butterfly's wings will gain its strength. If it takes the easy way out, it just won't fly.

So in life, you can desire success. It's a worthy goal. But if you ever had a wish, wish for the *opportunity* to attempt at success. Believe it or not, most people never got the opportunity, but you do. :)
