Thank God it's Monday ! This week's BOLD LAW... " No pressure, no diamonds "

No pressure, no diamonds !

We all remember our first geology lesson about how intense weight and pressure compressed over a long period of time creates diamonds. The same can be said about success !

Most of the time, pressure is thought to be a negative word.. , as in , maybe it's bad to be " put under pressure " ?

Pressure applied correctly can be a very good attribute to have and use at times. Emergency pressure on a wound can save someone's life. A full court press can win a basketball game. We've all had flat tires for lack of air pressure, right ? The correct amount of air pressure in a tire improves a race car's  performance and too much pressure can cause a tire or a balloon to explode !

There are times when it's good to put a little pressure on ourselves as we set a sales goal or we ask ourselves to do just a little bit more. Pressure , applied correctly, may spur you on to achieve something you've never done before.

Pressure does yield diamonds. Where can you apply some correct pressure to improve yourself today ?
