I believe with all my heart!

Yet another interesting article I read a few days ago, that showed me the difference between HOPE and BELIEF. Very simple narration, but a truly inspiring one. A caterpillar was lying with his back resting on a green leaf looking at the sky. He was enjoying the beauty of nature while doing so. Suddenly he saw a beautiful and colorful butterfly coming close to him. The butterfly was so attractive that the caterpillar wanted to climb on her wings. He asked her, can I climb on your wings once ? The butterfly was more than happy to let him do so and the caterpillar was so happy to feel and enjoy the silky touch of the wings. He asked her, shall I travel on your wings to see the world ? The Butterfly said is dismay, "Sorry , my wings have the power to only carry me!". The caterpillar was disappointed very much and started crying. He asked the butterfly, if he could also get colorful wings as she has, so that he can fly around the world. The Butterfly replied to him that she "believed with her whole heart that she would get wings one day" and it happened. The caterpillar was so amused by this and said to himself "I believe with my heart that I will get my wings" and went to sleep thinking the next day, he would get his wings. The next day morning , he woke up and eagerly looked forward to see his new wings. To his dismay, he looked the same with his green hair on his back. He started crying. Suddenly he realized that , it was only a hope in him that he would have wings and he did not believe fully from his heart. So he started believing fully from his heart that he would have wings when he gets up tomorrow. He slept that night with a lot of colorful dreams of coming around the world. Next day morning , he woke with all expectations, but was totally disappointed by the fact that he was still the same! Then after several hours of lamenting, he remembered the butterfly telling him, "Believe with all you heart that you will get wings". She never mentioned that he would get it today or tomorrow. So he started believing that he would get what he should some day in life. Suddenly one morning, when we tried to wake up as usual looking at the sky, he realized that he was almost choking to death. He felt like there was a shell around him trying to kill him. Eventually he realized he was coming out of the shell and there were beautiful and colorful wings on him. The butterfly came in search of her friend caterpillar and saw a handsome butterfly. She asked him , who he was and the new butterfly replied that he forgot everything about him except that he kept on believing his friend's words which were "Believe with all your heart that you will get wings" and it happened. Listening to this the other butterfly understood who he was and smiled at him and together they went all over the world enjoying the beauty.

This article very clearly and elegantly brought out the difference between hope and belief. How valuable is the fact that we have to "believe with our full heart that we will achieve what we want in life !"
