Pressure can create magnificence, like this Amethyst. I wonder if, facing constant, imposed pressure, this gem ever thought:
OMG, how much longer?, What’s the use?, When will it happen?, Is it ever gunna happen for me?, Everyone else is accomplished, why am I not there yet?, What am I doing wrong?
Or did it just acknowledge the presence of pressure? Welcoming, inviting, pausing for as long as it takes to settle into something fabulous…

Great post! It is so good to step back to see how much time we waste on unproductive chatter in our minds. I am so guilty!

Thank you for your feedback. I, too, am def guilty of this impatience. Sometimes I need to call myself out on pressure, frightening and dismissing myself – I don’t think I’m alone with these!
