I Need Courage to Change

For the past 3 years I have being asking the Universe for the courage to change. Change is hard work, I hate to use the analogy of the butterfly yet again, however if I could find a better fit I'd use it (the lobster one just doesn't work for me). I feel as though I have emerged from my cocoon, just sitting peacefully on a leaf letting my wings dry, sensing the gentle breeze and the warmth of the sun. I know the transformation isn't finished as I haven't yet taken flight. A part of me in scared, and then I remind myself that this is a normal part of change, and say to myself "how can I not, how can I stop now?" I know it will not be easy to take flight, but need to begin to let go of that branch and old cocoon. There is NO going back inside. I need to let go of the parts of my life that no longer serve me. A new friend today said "if it is not a strength if it saps your energy, even if your really good at it, it's not a STRENGTH", so as I ponder over the parts of me and my life I will leave behind, I sit here and let me wings dry in the sun.
