The pressures of life can either break you to pieces or they can shape you into a diamond.
It's your 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 a diamond is how they decide to react to these situations. The first person takes the position of victim and lets everything fall apart around him or her. The second person decides that they are going to step right into whatever has come their way and face it head on.
We all face these great pressures.
These pressures are familiar to everyone. We all have them come over us when we are not ready for them and really have no choice in how life decides to do what it does. A great deal of the time it all happens at once or nothing happens at all. But we are all privy to the overwhelming nature of pressure and have to make a choice of how to respond to it.
Why haven't we all?
Because 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 efforts in their life.
But for those brave souls that are willing to go through it all to help show the world what is possible, anything can be created. They can live as a representation of what is possible if you take your challenges head on. They will inspire us all.
If we decide to live through the fear and make ourselves into something greater than what we currently are living in, we can see these pressures as privileges instead of obstacles. We can see how much of a privilege it is to be performing on the world stage instead of hiding in the stands.
The choice is yours.
