Fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee

Who are we and what do we want

As social beings, We are told that it is convenient for us to define ourselves, to give our opinion, to fight, to make our presence known.….that we live life to the fullest.

But how can anyone do this without first knowing themselves? How is it possible to go through our lives in a coherent and fresh way at the same time? What should we get involved in and what other things should we let go?

Muhammed Ali said referring to his way of boxing that he “It flew like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” This was not only a phrase referring to his attitude in the ring, but to a large extent to his attitude towards life.

Alí believed that in his career as a boxer and in his personal aspect, had to adopt a synchronized and docile movement, with rhythm but without forcing timing.

It should learn from every experience in life to integrate it into their way of being, but never without forcing or forcing himself to internalize something that was not entirely clear in his reasoning and in his way of feeling.

But this, contrary to what we are taught, is not indecision, weakness of character or indifference to others.

It is rather about an internal job, which must be worked with care and time, until you can draw some really valid conclusions for yourself.

Just so, We will fly like a butterfly, observing, recording and analyzing the various situations that happen around us. And then, be accurate and passionate in the important and determining moments of our worth.

And we will sting like bees, with aim, without damage but with an unquestionable mission.

How to create a good attitude?

Flying like a butterfly and stinging like a bee is a way of living that frees us from mental pressure.

It calls us to fulfill the passion for which we are truly here; and that only each of us can know if he really pays attention to his own history and vocation.

To be able to live and act in this way, like boxing, a series of recommendations or advice must be followed:

– Do not dedicate yourself to battles that are really going to take a lot of energy out of you and in which you are not going to get answers.

Even if you consider that fighting for a specific cause is fair, you should question whether you can be useful, revolutionary and constant in it.

If you doubt at all points, it is better not to internalize this struggle, because some external struggles can be transformed into a battle against oneself.

Stay away, but stay alert in case at some point your help may be useful. Remember, be a butterfly.

– Choose your passions, not just goals.

If you choose a passion in life and put all your effort into achieving and maintaining it, the points to focus on will be seen more as a prize to win, rather than as a sacrifice of things you must give up.

Be a butterfly, Envision your objectives clearly.

– Your goal will never be enough, if your passion is great and sincere.

Set short-medium term goals, but also design great medium-long term goals. Only then will you be able to continue feeding your illusion.

Go for them and get them. Be like a bee.

– Don’t make your time in the world an exhibition of victimhood or greatness.

Simply be yourselflacking in some skills, of average talent in others, but with other extraordinary abilities.

Take as a reference the lessons that your life has given you, not that others try to give you… and only then will you be able to draw valid conclusions for yourself, without the intention of validating them in the rest of the world.

Define yourself as a deeply individual but empathetic being at the same time.

You will shine with your own light. You will be able to be a butterfly and a bee without realizing it.
