Episode 69 "Pressed not Crushed‪"‬ "The Grateful Dread" (podcast)

    • Self-Improvement

On this episode I talk about being pressed and the importance of not feeling defeated. Theres a scripture in the bible that says "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed". Pressure can bring out the best in people. If you think of yourself like an olive that needs to be pressed in order to produce oil rather than an ant getting crushed. Life has a way of pushing us even beyond what we thought was our limit and it doing so it forces us to grow and and become better, stronger, more resilient versions of ourselves. If you feel like your being pressed right now take solace in knowing that this challenge is going to help you produce oil and will ultimately bring the best out of you. Be encouraged and as always appreciate the blessings!
