A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure. -Henry Kissinger

#codeofthestreets:
If you’re going through something, go through it; face your fears, focus, and keep pressing forward. Don’t let the pressure of the process break you; there’s always a process before progress, let your obstacles make you… let ’em make you mentally, physically, and emotionally stronger. If you can’t jump over the hurdles, RUN THROUGH THEM; don’t let trepidation take you off track, don’t fall at the first hurdle. Remember, obstacle courses are designed to enhance your ability. Your stumbling blocks are building you up, let them lead you towards something beautiful. Keep on keeping on, stay the course, the pressure is shaping something beautiful. You are tougher than a diamond, you are as brilliant as a diamond; with laser-sharp focus, you will shine bright like a diamond… THE WORLD IS YOURS, there’s a diamond mine in your mind; if the diamond can make it out of the rough, so can you.

Time tells everything, fire refines gold, pressure makes diamonds and your attitude is the alchemist that makes ordinary moments extraordinary. Imagine how wonderful life would be, if you learned to welcome the pressure. Now practice the power of now and welcome the pressure like the Hope Diamond. Learn to let the jewels of life enrich your heart and enrich your mind and in Godspeed may they transform your soul into a beautiful treasure.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

affirmations, facing fears, living vs existing, the power of habit, the power of now

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. -Oscar Wilde | #codeofthestreets: LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, and love it a lot.

Learn to BE in the moment,
practice the power of NOW.

Appreciate every second,
enjoy every minute;
live each day as if it were going to be your last –
SEIZE THE DAY!
Never put off for tomorrow, what you may accomplish today.
Life is best enjoyed with a sense of urgency,
master the discipline of getting things done by
telling yourself “THE TIME IS NOW!”

Live and Let Die;
before you can live, a part of you has to die…
“Most of us have two lives:
the life we live,
and the unlived life within us
.”
Kill your fears,
let go of the familiar;
your comfort zone is a casket.
Practice the art of STILLNESS,
however, never remain stagnant;
do not let your fears immobilize your intentions.
Ignore the things you cannot change;
however, by all means, equip yourself with:
determination,
preparedness,
consistency,
resilience,
and persistence…
for they are the disciplines that build courage.
DO AS YOU WILL,
tenaciously trek onward,
– conquer your fears each day.

Do one thing that frightens you every day,
CREATE A BUCKET LIST –
start checking things off.
Practice the power of HABIT,
create a to do list every day;
set goals at each sunrise –
create action plans to accomplish before each sunset,
take a step towards your goals each day.

Do not fear failure…
“It always seems impossible, until it’s done.”
Learn to live on the other side of fear,
develop a champion mindset;
feel the fear and do it anyway.
Tell yourself “You have nothing to fear,
you will not fail;
you cannot lose…
you will either win or you will learn – today.”

Do the things you love,
do more of what makes you happy.
When you follow your passions,
you pave the way to a beautiful life.

Create memories – experience life…
“Begin at once to live and count each day as a separate life.”

–@StevieStreets #affirmations | Live Life To The Fullest
