The pressures of life can either break you to pieces or they can shape you into a diamond.
How you want to live really comes down to your choice.
When things are going well in life, everything is fine and dandy. But when everything starts to crumble we have a couple of choices. We can either let the situation ruin the rest of our life or we can decide that we are going to step into the situation with courage and bravery and move forward. At the end of the day, will you be the man or woman that decided to quit or the one that just kept on going?
We all face these great pressures.
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 don't we all just face these pressures?
It is the fear that we will have to go through more pain that truly digs into our hearts. But this fear is something that you can step into as well. In fact, one of the greatest pressures of all is fear itself. But fear doesn't have to be the thing that runs your entire life. Instead, it can be the thing that drives your courage.
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 take on our challenges as the things that will help define us in the future, we can look forward to the pain and pressure. We see the grind as something that is necessary for us to go through in order to help ourselves, others, and the rest of the world.
So what will it be?
Turn to ash or into a diamond?
