There's an old saying that goes something along the lines of...
A diamond is a chunk of coal that handled pressure extraordinarily well.
Everyone on this planet is faced with pressure.
Sometimes internal, sometimes external. But the weight of life can destroy you or help create you. It can be the thing that defines you in the responsibilities that you have taken on in this life or it can drive you back into mediocrity.
Everything in our lives comes down to making a choice.
We are all going to be faced with adversity and tragedies in life but the major difference maker between those who crumble to pieces and those who turn into diamonds is how they decide to react to life's tests and trials.
How are you going to handle the pressure?
One person decides that they are going to be the victim and stops taking care of themselves completely. They let everything fall apart in their lives and continue to play the "woe is me" game.
The second person decides that they are going to face their problems and understand that pressure is the name of the game. Pressure is part of what makes you grow.
They know that pressure makes them stronger.
If only we could all have this attitude about life.
We all face these great pressures.
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 requesting challenges because you know they make you stronger.
You will ask whatever you believe in...for more challenges on your journey to make you grow into the person you need to become.
When you reach this point, you see challenges as a gift.
The choice is yours.
Turn into coal or turn into a diamond?
Diamonds are the only answer.
