The external trappings were all there, but I still felt like there was something missing on the inside. As my journey progressed, I learned more about who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. It also made me realize that we re all much like caterpillars in a cocoon waiting to come out and become unique, beautiful butterflies. Our cocoon is our personal comfort zone from which we need to emerge to become successful, confident individuals. If we remain in our cocoons too long, our special gifts and talents will never be shared with others.
Some people never leave their cocoons because they re afraid or too set in old ways of thinking.
Whenever I reflect upon my personal journey, I can t help but remember the song by Diana Ross, I m coming out. You can come out too and when you do, the world will know about you, too. Because success is truly a transformation that begins on the inside and then manifests itself in the unique contributions you make to your family, your job and your community.
