Be a Diamond, Not Just a Lump of Coal

A diamond is a lump of coal that does well under pressure. In times of adversity may we all shine as brightly.

This is true about every person in the world. Pressure comes from every direction, work, dreams, family, friends, and the like. Many of us fold to the pressure and remain coal. Others use pressure as a springboard to their 'shining.' The difference between the two is faith in something bigger than them. It's understanding that your current situation does not have to be your life. It's your choice to change it. The Divine allows trials and tribulations to happen to see how much faith you have in Divinity and yourself. You are Divinity incarnated. Always remember that!

At times I would ask people for help with my dreams. They would say they would do this or that. I would get upset when they didn't do it. I would stop the process of growing. I would stop doing what I set out to do. Working under pressure is contagious when others see progression. Don't stop when others do especially if that is your dream. You would love help from others, but it's your dream. You need to do whatever you need to do to attain it. It is harder, but the reward is greater as well. Keep your head up. You can do what you need to do.

I've stopped before on my dreams when I thought others bailed out on me. It's my dream. I don't get upset anymore. I continue to do what I need to work on my dreams. If that's doing everything so be it. I have to fulfill my dreams. Help comes when you least expect it. We have to continue to push on. I'm turning into to a beautiful diamond. What about you? I only hang with diamonds. See the diamond in yourself so we can shine so brightly together.
