Have you ever seen any of the various television and big screen incarnations of the Superman character in which he takes a lump of coal and compresses it in his hands transforming it into a diamond? As if applying pressure as in the form of “if I don’t get such and such a task completed” would only transform a person into a diamond of brilliant and shining character.
Possibly we are like lumps of coal when we are born waiting for the trials of life to pressure us. For some people this causes them to break. For others it can make our character shine like a diamond. I will venture to say that all of us are more like diamonds in the rough, than lumps of coal, and that we each possess unique skills and abilities that need to be polished.
As we learn new ways of doing things and reach our short term goals we start to shine with brilliance and more easily accomplish the things that we set out to do. Just like a diamond is polished to shine our accomplishments should naturally increase and shine brilliantly. Each of us can therefore be compared to a diamond. That should make you want to shine.
