—Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali winner of the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature

The life cycle of a butterfly has four stages: Egg, Caterpillar, Pupa, and Adult.

Surprisingly, most adult butterflies live only one or two weeks, but some species hibernate during the winter and may live several months.

Whether their lives are weeks or months long, time to fulfill their purpose is short for these remarkable and beautiful creatures. They must somehow be conscious to this fact and see the importance and urgency of not wasting a single moment.

How can and will you cherish every moment of your life, and take coaching from the butterfly to transform your world?
