Nugget of Wisdom: In Pursuit of Pressure

As I was driving up a mountain, I began to feel pressure on my ears.  The higher I went the more pressure that was applied.  The pressure was an indication that I was moving to a higher elevation and it was time to adjust.  The pressure caused me discomfort and limited my hearing.  So, if I was going to keep progressing up the mountain, I had two choices: adjust to relieve the pressure or ignore it and bring my old self to a new place (with the pain attached).

Too often we see the pressures of life as an attack.  The truth is that pressure isn’t an attack; it’s a byproduct of progression.  Pressure informs you that you aren't just moving forward, but you are moving upward.  It can seem like an attack, because pressure limits your potential until you make the proper adjustments.  However, those adjustments are really enhancements to enable you to succeed at the new level you have attained.  Don't let pressure push you away from your higher purpose.  Let it be the fuel that keeps you pressing ahead, knowing it's a sign that you are going in the right direction.  As you mature, you will start looking for pressure as a confirmation of your call.
