Reading this post on Instagram made me wonder how often we’re just like that butterfly.
We move through life carrying colors, talents, kindness, and quiet strengths we don’t even realize we have. Maybe because we see ourselves every day, we stop noticing the magic. Maybe because we’re focused on the next task, the next problem, the next “thing to fix,” we forget the things already shining.
And that’s when other people matter so much.
A friend who says, “You’re doing great.”
A colleague who notices your hard work.
A stranger who compliments your smile.
These moments are little mirrors, helping us see the beauty we’ve been carrying all along.
So here’s the reminder: You are more remarkable than you think. And if you can’t see it right now, borrow someone else’s eyes until you can.
Because just like the butterfly, you’re not meant to keep your colors a secret!
