Let Them Struggle… So They Can Soar
Welcome back to another episode of Wisdom Wave broughtto you by Triumph through Training. I’m Rajan Arora, and today, we shall talk about the importance of struggling.
I want to share with you a story that has stayed with me for years. A simple one. But like all simple things in life—it carries deep wisdom. I call it the ‘Butterfly Story’
Once, a man, a nature lover was nurturing the plants and trees, when he found a chrysalis—a cocoon—on a branch in his garden. It was still, quiet… but he noticed tiny movementsinside. A butterfly was struggling to emerge.
He watched for hours as the butterfly fought and twisted, trying to push its way through a small opening.The man’s heart ached at the sight. So, wanting to help, he took a small pair of clippers and carefully snipped the chrysalis open—just enough to let the butterfly out easily.
The butterfly emerged… but he noticed that something was wrong. Its body was swollen. Its wings were shriveled and weak. It couldn’t fly. It never could. It fell here and there, and then finally died. The man was very compassionate, andcould not bear that despite his help, the butterfly met its end—so fast—without living its short life, fully.
