Under Pressure

STRESS!

"Life isn't about finding yourself.  Life is about creating yourself."
                                                                  -George Bernard Shaw

We always say that we are stressed because of one thing or another.  Is it really those external situations that are stressing us or are they just convenient excuses?  Is the pressure we are under self induced?

A piece of coal is dirty and useless.  Not until at least heat is applied do you get energy created from it,  but when a piece of coal is under extreme heat and pressure a diamond is formed.  Most of the times when things are not going right for us we feel like a lump of coal.  When we have had enough of being in that situation, it is then we gain the energy (heat) to do something about it.  At that point, when it seems we are controlling the situation, life happens (extreme pressure).  It is when life happens we must be the strongest.  Most of us can be strong for other people, but when it comes to ourselves we let the pressure over whelm us and the heat burns out.

If we can just store enough heat, when the pressure builds it will be in that moment we will become our greatest treasure.

THINK WEAK, BE WEAK. THINK STRONG, BE STRONG!!
