The Stress free butterfly
A beautiful butterfly once flew into a garden. The butterfly had blue wings with black spots and pattern. The garden was filled with flowering plants and bushes. The butterfly kept hopping from one flower to another.
As it sat on a flower, it was seen by two black beetles sitting nearby. The black beetles said to one another "Oh what an ugly butterfly. Look at the shade of blue. It would look beautiful only if its wings were completely black like us!"
The butterfly overheard what the beetles were saying about her. The butterfly laughed and ignored the beetles. It just hopped onto another flower. The beetles talk was a free source of stress. The butterfly chose to ignore and move on.
There are 3 lessons to be learnt from the butterfly here.
1. Those who pass negative comments on you, want you to become like them. The black beetles wanted a black butterfly. They could not perceive beauty in any other colour.
2. There are thousands of opinions about you in this world. Ignore the hurtful statements and hop onto the next flower. There is always someone who knows your value.
3. Laugh in the face of negative comments.
