The weight of life can destroy you or help make you.
How you want to live really comes down to 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?
We face enormous amounts of pressure every single day.
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?
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.
But for the others who are constantly challenged and have to feel this pressure time and time again, it can turn them into something unbreakable. It can turn them into a diamond in a rough world.
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 - to live in fear or courage.
Turn to ash or into a diamond?
