Pressure is privilege of life

Pressure is a gem

Most will avoid

Sole comfort turns into disease

Intentional adversity is the way

Of the awakened man

This is the way to meaningful

transformation

This the forging of the soul into a black diamond

This is the path to perfect the Will of the individual

Withstanding and enduring

Emerging victorious to the other side

Where the soul is reconstructed and refined

Like a diamond attains its hardness and purity

I bring the adverse into my conscious

I step away from the inertia and comfort

I reach strength and resilience

For I know difficulty is the way
