The Ultimate Gem....

I know in the moments things do not go just the way I had expected or an unexpected crisis arises the condition of my heart is revealed for all to see. It is easy to walk the talk when things go well or according to my expectations. It is in the difficult moments when the pressure is on that others see the true nature of my character. Others are looking at how I will react. Will I stay in peace, act with grace, be love in the situation? Just like the Earth creates stunning diamonds from within it core our character is developed from within and it is the difficult, trying, unjust times that truly develop and test is strength. Diamond is the ultimate gemstone, having few weaknesses and many strengths. It is well known that Diamond is the hardest substance found in nature, but few people realize that Diamond is four times harder than the next hardest natural mineral, corundum (sapphire and ruby). So I ask you today are you living life as a diamond. Are you using the pressure provided in difficult times to allow you to shine brilliantly with grace, love and peace or are you choosing by your action to model and inferior stone in quality. Would you consider joining me today in being your ultimate gem/self?
