...the ultimate agent of progress, growth, and change. It's life cycle is a frequently used metaphor to encompass the variables of the day to day. Often, though, the mistake in adapting this symbol to our everyday living is that it used as a once and final happening. We often assume that undergoing a metamorphosis and coming out a completely different and more evolved being on the other side is an isolated occurrence. We must get away from this view and remember that personal change and growth is constant. We are never a final and complete being. There should always be a period of self reflection where we hold to things that have served us well, release the things that have not, and develop new things to take the place of those let go. We should not just be the butterfly but be the perpetual butterfly. No growth ever comes out of stagnation.
