“No Pressure, No Diamonds,” is a quote from Thomas Carlyle, a 19th-century Scottish historian.
Diamonds are formed because carbon is set under extreme pressure in the earth. Without pressure, it would just be carbon, which is not Rare or Special!
Real Diamonds take an extremely long time to form. They are created 100 miles deep in the Earth where temperatures boil above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure exceeds 725,000 pounds per square inch!
That’s a whole lot of Heat & Pressure. It’s the main reason they are so expensive, beautiful, and indestructible.
Are YOU Under Pressure? Is it enough to create something special in you?
If not, you are running around as just another piece of carbon, which is what we have an abundance of!
You may be able to fake being a diamond and appear almost identical to the real thing, but what you have to realize is the way it looks is only part of the beauty.
A Diamond’s durability, experience, toughness, and brilliance as well as its history, are simply irreplaceable.
The Pressure they are under creates something SO rare, and that’s why people are willing to pay any price to have them.
The key for you to become a Diamond is simple…Stay Under Pressure!
The struggle we go through while Under Pressure produces the Miraculous.
Consistent Pressure turns the Ordinary Carbon (Human) into an Indestructible Diamond!
All we have to do is Stay Under Pressure. This means we have to create the right kind of Pressure every day so that we can transform.
Pressure is produced two ways: The first way is the one all of us are subject to…Life or Unintentional Pressure. Stuff happens, and we have to deal with it. That could come in the form of poor choices or circumstances out of our control that we have to deal with.
Health, Financial, or Relational challenges would fall under this one, and all of us will go through these over the course of our lives.
The 2nd type of Pressure is Intentional. Intentional Pressure is based on how BIG your Goals, Dreams, and Aspirations are.
You decide how much Pressure you are under based on how far you have to stretch yourself to achieve those goals.
The key to creating the right amount of Pressure to becoming a Diamond is consistently saying YES to Intentional Pressure.
This is living on Purpose. You must be proactive and Design your life instead of sitting back waiting for Stuff to happen or even worse, trying to avoid ALL pressure to live in COMFORT!
Comfort is for people who want to remain a faceless Carbon.
