The pressures of life can either break you to pieces or they can shape you into a diamond.
It's your choice.
It has never really been about what happens to you in life but how you respond to it. The biggest decision you really have to make is if you are going to let whatever that has occurred ruin your life or if you are going to take life by the horns and keep going. When it really comes down to it, don't we all want to be known as the person that never gave up and continued to pursue their dreams no matter what happened?
The amount of pressure we face every single day is astronomical.
There is pressure to be just like everyone else. There is pressure to be something you are not. There is pressure to act, speak, dress, and look a certain way. It's amazing that we all haven't crumbled under this immense amount of weight.
Why can't we grow into these pressures?
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.
For those who are willing to sacrifice their comfort for the betterment of tomorrow, they will shine as lights for many others around them. They will turn into diamonds. They will show the world what is possible.
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.
So what will it be?
To live as light or as darkness.
