Obstacles in Life

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

I've read this story many times, but everytime I read this I'll get motivated knowing that every problem that I'm facing right now is working for my good and it'll slowly mold my character to be a better person. And I believe that's the attitude that everyone of us must have. It's true that life is challenging and it's never an easy path, but because of these problems our life can be more interesting, they somehow added color into our life. So never expect life to be smooth, it will never happened! And even though it did happen, I think it'll be a pretty boring life. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!
So for those who are facing problems right now be it big or small, let's show our courage and stand strong to overcome it. You'll eventually emerge as a winner over the problems!
