Squeezed, Pressed and Crushed: Essential Elements of Success

There is no oil if the olive is not squeezed,
No wine, if the grapes are not pressed,
No perfume, if the flowers are not crushed...
If you are undergoing the pressure of having
to achieve your goals in life...
it is just bringing out the best in you.

1. Squeezed:  You really have to use all your creative juices to be able to produce a wonderful idea.  In achieving a goal, you must use every possible idea so you have different options on how to reach your goal.

2. Pressed:  When you feel you can't move on because the challenges are just to great.  Allow that moment of being pressed because you will not remain forever in that position.  Afterwards, when the pressure is released, you will realize that all the effort is not useless after all.

3. Crushed:  Most of the time, the feeling of being crushed is equivalent to failure. If you have reached this point, you don't have to worry, the most successful people in the world went through failure so many times in the course of having to achieve their goals.  The most important thing to consider here is to learn from the mistakes and start again.

Allow yourself to be squeezed, pressed and crushed.
