But, if I take the care to slowly and gently remove the layers, the pot will be a joy to admire, and a family heirloom for generations.
As in the often told story of the butterfly and the chrysalis - it emerges in its beauty in its time.
We can find examples of people in today's world, that inspire us to take in the goodness of the world and emerge as the beauty we are.
Years ago I was visiting a close friend, and she drew my attention to a TV show.
Not being a TV bug (addict), I would not have seen it without this friend.
It was the initial show of Susan Boyle on a talent quest show.
Like as seen on TV, I too honestly questioned her looks, yet as she sang - the beauty was stunning.
In fact one of the rare CDs I would pay money for.
Watch her story on you tube, visit her facebook page- or wherever you are able to.
It seems that we sometimes need to hide out in the protective cover of a cocoon. This was Susan Boyle’s life in Scotland. But, one Easter, she took the first brave step out of her shell and began the metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly, you see today.
And, you will realize your dreams can come true too.
We all know her story. We all heard the beauty of her voice and saw the beauty in her soul.
As you can see, in the magazine photographs she is absolutely stunning. They captured her essence,with the clothes, makeup, and setting,- and it is gorgeous.
Why am I writing about Susan Boyle? As her story is well recognized, it is a great example of what you can do for yourself. J.K. Rowling, Fred Hollows, even one of your favorite entrepreneurs, can be your example - it will make things a lot easier for you.
Find others like her that inspire you, real people that through their tenacity, and a little self belief have become the butterfly.
As you look around, people with low self-esteem will treat others like trash to reduce them to a lower level. so that they themselves feel empowered.
The idea, for you, is to persist.
A good person will treat you well, and may encourage you. You must encourage yourself first.
What is your gift? If you could be king or queen for the day, what would the day look like?
If your dreams came true like they did for Susan Boyle, would you be happy with that life?
Dream a little dream tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, take just one step toward making your dreams come true, then keep going, step by step. Begin your plan now.
