sometime ago, I saw a documentary on ocean lives. it showed a lobster trying to break through its shell. I could see how hard it tried, squeezing, pushing, using all its might and energy to break through.
once it broke through, its body became much larger, and was swimming freely and happily in the water.
in our daily life, we sometimes are thrown into shells by situations or circumstances,(i.e. death of family members, broken relationships, financial problems etc.) or we are trapped in a shell which we create for ourselves. (i.e. low self esteem, loss of confidence in ourselves, uncertainly of our future etc.)
to breakthrough this shell, we need to exert our utmost determination and energy, knowing that once we breakthrough, we will grow, and be free and happy.
chanting nam myo ho renge kyo can give us the energy and strength and hope to break through.
glad to share
