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 that we define ourselves, that we give our opinions, that we fight, that we make our presence known. .. that we live life to the fullest.

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

Muhammed Ali said referring to his boxing that he “flew like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” This was not just a phrase referring to his attitude in the ring, but largely his attitude to life.

Ali believed that in his career as a boxer and in his personal facet, he should adopt a synchronized and docile movement, with rhythm but without forcing times.

That he had to learn from each experience of life to integrate it into his 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 they teach us, is not indecisiveness, weakness of character, or indifference to others.

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

Only in this way, we will fly like a butterfly, observing, registering and analyzing the various situations that happen around us. Then, to 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 life that frees us from mental pressure.

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

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

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

Even if you consider that fighting for a specific cause is the right thing to do, you should ask yourself if you can be useful, revolutionary and constant in it.

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

Stay away, but be vigilant in case your help may be helpful at any time. 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 on which you focus will be seen more as a prize to be won, than as a sacrifice of things that you must give up.

Be a butterfly, see your goals clearly.

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

Set goals for the short-medium term, but also design big objectives for the medium-long term. Only then can you continue to feed your illusion.

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

–  Do not make your passage through the world an exhibition of victimhood, or greatness.

Just be yourself, lacking in some skills, medium 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 you, 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.
