Maybe it's changing the way you think about your lifestyle. If you love it, you may not want to change it - and that's ok. So maybe it's a matter of figuring out ways to maintain the lifestyle - but through happier, more gratifying means than before.

It is a wonderful idea to know that when one is ready not to be a caterpillar anymore, one becomes something as beautiful as a butterfly - not saying the earlier stage isn't beautiful mind you as it is. We can't be butterflies without that caterpillar phase. It is all about letting go and finding the courage to fly and to take the risks to leave the old life behind and yet to take it with us in the sense of learning form it... sigh... babble...

You know that right? From the outside looking in - you seem to be doing all the right things in making those changes. You are awesome. You know that right?

You're so right that of course at first we'd all instinctively assume that yes, we are butterflies ready or at least would choose to be. But being a caterpillar is about being comfortable and familiar and safe, and there's a lot to be said for that as well. At the very least, it's difficult to leave that behind.
