Dealing with Pressure

We often have to deal with pressure from all areas of our life; personal, internal, external, a difficult client, financial, marital, a difficult boss, a loss of a job, losing a large client, etcetera. What we sometimes fail to realize is that we all deal with it differently; sometimes we may even feel as though there is no recovering from some of these difficult situations.

One thing I have learned in my life, of which I have had to deal with many of these above situations myself; is how you manage them and how focused you become changing you forever. We must constantly be adapting to improve ourselves. Even with those we surround ourselves they help us to mold us and get us through the difficult times. An Author Unknown once wrote "people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do." Every person we meet has an impact, those impacts help us deal with the situations we come across in our lives.

I often have told people I am a lump of coal, and with the pressure and heat of each situation I deal with I am being formed into a diamond. I hope you will see that each situation you encounter will form you into someone that is stronger and brighter with each passing obstacle in your life.
