"What a caterpillar calls the end of the world we call a butterfly" (Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now)

Sometimes in life, our darkest moments are a blessing in disguise, because they're the moment when things are about to change.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world is also the birth of a butterfly. A beautiful new beginning.

Those moments when you're in doubt, when it feels like it's all coming to an end, when it feels like it's failing, when you're thinking what's the point and why should I carry on, are very often the moment when the magic is about to happen.

So keep going, my friend. Keep going until we see that beautiful butterfly.

The book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

If you're in a dark moment right now, keep going.
