Thought of the Day - Lifespan

Thought of the Day - Lifespan

Butterflies have a very brief lifespan. The average butterfly lives about two weeks, a rare few can live almost a year - but there are some species that live only two days. Yet if you have ever watched a butterfly as it gracefully moves from flower to flower, you would never know that its time on earth was ticking away so rapidly. The butterfly focuses on each petal, each drop of nectar, and it gets the most out of every moment. We get caught up in a time-frame or a looming deadline. We want to accomplish something quickly and it isn't happening the way that we imagined. Stop judging the process by its progress, and start reveling in the experience itself.
