There is that weight on our minds that we carry. There is that push on our Will that will not tarry. There is that voice in our heads telling us to do it now, or never, anyhow. There is that intuition to allow out emotions manifest. There is but one thing happening to us, Pressure.
You can not deny it. It is as strong as our desires. An item, a thought, a prompting oppressing our minds: Pressure pushes for our doing, many times it becomes our undoing. When posed with the need to do something urgently, we would often feel a weight. Our relief would be when we do the needful. This needful is often times not what we need, but what our oppressed desires want. We can not help but realise that our minds are oppressed by a force we can not reckon, to do what others do, or get what they have, or proof a point.
The pressure could be external or internal. Most is usually externally. Our succumbing to them gives them a field day in our lives. Peer pressure, pressure from spouse, family, work and society; all come for us. But there is no effect on us if we resist them.
Mostly, we are pressured to stretch ourselves beyond our limits in order to please a body, a system or an institution; at the detriment of our health. This is typical with coaches, mentors, preachers, leaders, etc. As much as this line of work has produced great minds who through determination and lot of work excelled in their professions, it does not do well in improving life expectancy. Many who allow such pressure stretch them, usually enjoy shortlived achievements, cos they die sooner anyway.
No pressure is as strong as the one we put ourself under. Until you let that external pressure in, you're safe. If one must achieve anything, do not do it under pressure or let anyone put you under pressure. If you can do it, you can do it. When you can not, say you can not. And when you feel like you are being choked up with targets, so much so that you can't breathe or sleep well, release yourself immediately. Have a Pressure release before you hustle yourself to death. Life is too short. None of us will escape it alive anyway.
BE GUIDED! BE LED!
