Back to Cocoon

How many of you are familiar with the term Cocoon?

Cocoon is a pupal casing generally made by the larva or caterpillar which stays inside for a while and then breaks open it into a beautiful Butterfly.

We, humans, always want our life to be as beautiful as a Papilio Buddha Butterfly. We, generally, do whatever it takes to attain happiness in life. Sometimes it doesn't adversely affect others, but sometimes it does, be it intentionally or unintentionally. Now, what does Cocoon have to do with me?

I have been going through the toughest phase of my life now wherein a lot of dreams are getting shattered one by one despite trying hard to achieve it. Now, what will you do when you don't have any idea on how to deal with certain challenges. You know that you have tried everything but nothing has come to fruition, however you do know that there is certainly a solution to it but You are unable to figure it out.

What will you do?

This is the time when most people get confused. They wanted to resuscitate, but are clueless on how to do it. They are optimistic about it, but unable to open the door which could lead them to victory. This is the time when they try to build a nest around themselves which could accommodate only them so that they can talk to the best company in this world - Themselves. 

Why would we do that? We have a lot of Counsellors, Marketing Specialists, Relatives, Friends, Family etc to talk to, but why would we still prefer to be with Ourselves despite having a large crowd around us. The answer is simple - You are the best one to judge your life.

Doesn't matter how thick your friendship is, sometimes all you need is Solitariness. Solitude helps you to analyze your actions, your words, your relationships and the list goes on. Ever wondered on why you feel secluded albeit being with a crowd? Your mind doesn't want everything in this World. It wants only a few things, but to be enjoyed with the one whom your mind loves the most. It could be Your family, friends, Lover or Strangers. But what matters is Happiness. Well, Like I said early, it's the ultimate goal of life - Being happy. It's the state of your mind and if you are unhappy then you will have to work on it. You will have to get back to your mind, look for happiness and enjoy the Eunoia. That's the need of the hour. You just need to look within yourself.

Remember that,

No one can wear your shoes, only You can.

No one can hear your inner voice, only You can.

No one can feel what's in your mind, only You can.

So, it's good to be back to your Cocoon and seek within self. After all, You need to fly out as a beautiful butterfly and Cocoon is the best place to ready yourself.
