There's an old saying...
A diamond is a chunk of coal that handled pressure extraordinarily well.
Everyone is faced with pressure.
Sometimes it comes from the inside. Sometimes it comes from the outside. But the truth is it can either destroy you or make you. It can drive you to become better or it can drive you to become worse.
So all of this really comes down to choice, and that's what I want to bring out in you today.
The big difference maker between those who move forward in life and those who stay stuck is in how they handle and view the pressure.
So how are you going to handle these pressures?
The first person takes the position of victim and lets everything fall apart around him or her. They let their relationships fall apart, they stop taking care of themselves, they lose their integrity and start withering away.
The second person decides that they are going to face their problems head on and they tip their hat to the pressure. They understand that pressure is part of the game and decide that they are going to continue moving forward in their life.
They know that pressure makes them stronger.
If only we could all have this attitude about life.
Remember, we all face pressure.
Never lose sight of the fact that you aren't alone.
There is something deep inside each of us that is calling out our own unique gifts. Some may lose themselves to the pressures of life and never return back to who they really are. They don't have the skills, tools, or support system to bring them back and restore their faith in continuing making positive choices.
So for those brave souls who are willing to face the heat, you will make the world change in ways that have never been seen before.
And the final piece to the puzzle?
You will start asking for challenges...
You will ask the heavens above to give you what you need to become the person you were destined to be.
When you reach this point, you see challenges as a gift.
So the choice is yours.
Turn to coal...or turn into a diamond?
Diamonds are the only answer.
