"Diamonds are formed under pressure" - Are you one?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been thinking about the human being’s spirit of resilience, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you all. Sometimes life throws very unexpected challenges our way, whether it’s personal struggles, professional setbacks, or global crises (like the COVID-19 pandemic!). Yet, time and time again, we see people rise above these challenges, showing remarkable resilience in the face of adversity…

There’s a famous quote that comes to mind: “Diamonds are formed under pressure.” It’s a powerful reminder for me that sometimes, the most beautiful and valuable things in life emerge from the toughest circumstances. Just like diamonds, we have the capacity to shine brightest when we’re under pressure, to face challenges head-on and to emerge stronger than ever before.

Like all of you, I’ve personally been through some tough times too, but everyday I’m thankful that I’m still here, still given another chance to live my life out to the fullest despite my struggles.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Here are a couple of questions to get the conversation started:

  1. Can you share a personal experience where you felt the pressure of a difficult situation but ultimately emerged stronger because of it?

  2. How do you build your resilience in your own life, especially during times of uncertainty and change?

Looking forward to hearing your insights!
