This caterpillar does not just simply grow wings First, it must alter its mind; transform the very being of itself It must climb the tallest tree, the highest mountain Swim the deepest of oceans Walk through the fiercest of flames And then, if it chooses, this caterpillar can become a butterfly Aubrey Moore
About This Quote

The caterpillar in this quote is a metaphor for the person who decides to make a change in his or her life. By looking at their present situation, they must decide to make a change. If they want to get what they want, they must make the necessary changes in order to get where they want to be. They must pick themselves up after each fall. No matter how bad the fall may seem, it cannot stop them from moving forward.
