MONDAY MOTIVATION- Chase The Bigger Picture And Achieve Better Results
“If you spend your time chasing butterflies they will fly away but if you spend time making a beautiful garden the butterflies will come to you”.
Edmond Ighedo, Arogi Trauma Care Foundation
This metaphorical quote conveys a valuable life lesson about the pursuit of happiness and success. Life happens to everyone in different phases, as it happens opportunities also appear to us in different phases. If you constantly chase after fleeting and ephemeral pleasures or opportunities without a larger purpose or plan, you may find them elusive and difficult to catch. Butterflies, in this context, symbolize transient moments of joy or success.
The quote advocates for investing your time and effort into building something meaningful and enduring, represented by the “beautiful garden.” This could be a career, a relationship, a skill, or any long-term goal that holds significance to you.
“The butterflies will come to you” implies that by focusing on creating something of value, you will naturally attract positive and enriching experiences into your life. Instead of tirelessly pursuing fleeting pleasures, you cultivate an environment where those pleasures and opportunities are more likely to gravitate toward you.
When you create a shift in your mindset from short-term gratification to long-term fulfillment and meaningful achievements, when you concentrate on building something substantial and worthwhile, you’ll ultimately find greater happiness and success, and the joys of life will come to you without the need for constant pursuit.
