Every great event in your life will be preceded by Butterflies in your stomach. Please don't allow that to stop you from reaching to the very heights that you can achieve. Any Butterflies out there????

I agree with you. There are many things that we want to do with our life. The anxiety of whether or not it will work like we would like it to is often there.I would like to be able to work hard and have more money for myself and my daughter. I would also like to go to college and figure out which career would be best for me. I'm trying not to hold back in these areas as I know that things can work out if I keep trying and give it my best.

Yes,we must all be Brave. Life seems to place us where we really need to be as long as we never quit trying. One gets nowhere if one gives up. We are all much more capable than we realize. Dream Big. Reach for the Stars. In time, they will be reached.

I agree with you. We get nowhere at all when we give up. We have to keep positive and keep pursuing goals that interest us. Or otherwise life will pass us by very quickly and we will regret not doing a lot of things.

Hi bird! I normally feel butterflies when I am speaking to my crush or taking an exam. I get this butterfly feeling because I am nervous. Because of it, i sometimes stutter or I will completely not know what to say. I don't like the feeling at all.

Those butterflies show us what we care the most about. If we do not run from our butterflies but face them,in time, they aren't so bad. The more one does something;the easier it gets and soon it's second nature rather than all nerves.

Yes, it is a strange feeling. One must be careful for it can make people do some strange things as well. We must stay the course and fulfill our destiny. We are all capable of doing those things which cause those butterflies to show up. Can't chicken out.

It was just a few days ago I experienced these butterflies in my stomach. There was a stage show in the college and the anchor had an emergency and left for attending it while a program was going on. When the program ended he didnt show up for the next announcement, so I was handed the mic. The announcement was short and simple, but my stomach had these funny things running inside it. Happy mylotting, Regards, Ajith.

Yes, I bet you had all kinds of butterflies flying around. You might just be surprised how many famous people still get butterflies before they go on stage. Still, you saved the day. I bet you did really good!! You probably did much better than I would have done.

The last time was merely a couple of days ago..:) But frankly it was not as great a feeling as when I got a first class in graduation first year. :) I am older and such things are not as important anymore. :(

Perhaps with your age comes the wisdom not to doubt your abilities so much. Still, it's nice to know there are things we care enough for so that those butterflies do show up from time to time. We wouldn't want life to get boring. Yes, a mild case of butterflies is a lot easier to deal with.

Hi bird: Normally I feel butterflies on my stomach when I am about to make a big decision or when there's something I have to do that just makes me nervous probably because I have to talk about my feelings or something like that but of course, as you have said, we should be able to have control on our feelings so that butterflies in our stomach won't prevent us from doing something we'd like or just have to do.

Could life really be grand without caring about something enough to get those butterflies?? Let's hope we have lots of butterflies throughout our lifetimes.
