Here today, butterfly tomorrow

So you’re standing in front of your classmates at graduation, and as you rise to receive your coveted high school diploma you look down and realize you are buck-naked. You use your hands to cover yourself up and hurriedly scamper off stage.

Of course this didn’t happen in real life, please. And no, I don’t know anyone who suffered this fate either. What I do know is that we all too often feel as stared at and targeted as a naked grad on his high school’s stage.

The reason why all of you were able to so easily to relate to the shame and embarrassment the dream situation aimed to convey was because many people become humiliated too easily. Did simply reading my opening paragraph cause you to grin and have flushed cheeks? Snap out of it!

Stop being embarrassed! Stop being afraid of the worst! You are wearing clothes right now, ill give you a minute to check it out again and make sure. We good? Thought so.

As long as you continue to keep yourself out of the naked limelight, you will go far. If you can remove that one-foot from the cliché nightmare grave, you too can free yourself of self-consciousness and become a butterfly. Fly away into the successful sky. Just don’t come back for your diploma.
