I acknowledge my strength often increases in proportion to the obstacles or challenges that present themselves, if I allow it to. Meeting hardships with dignity and grace allows me to emerge from the situation with greater humility, reverence and more often than not a deeper clarity of my highest purpose.
It is said "life is a grindstone".... whether it grinds us down or polishes us up, depends on us and what we are made of and how we handle ourselves under pressure. Diamonds are created under immense pressure. Gold is created under rock and soil and has to be mined from deep within as well. Our best selves are the same way- we have to dig deep, open ourselves up and find the hidden treasure.
Are you living surface deep today? Do you have the strength to move mountains, mine for gold or dig deep for diamonds in the rough? Or, are you always looking at the situation as the easiest way for you to get what you want, without having to put yourself out there- under pressure- making crucial hard decisions that take you and those you love to the next level.
The diamonds, gold and mountain moving faith required to live our best life is not for the fickle, selfish or take the easy way out souls. It's for the win against all odds.... flight or fight souls. In this moment which would you be? You and you alone have the ability to change that if it is not the answer you are looking for.
