What is a diamond really? If I said that it is a piece of carbon, I do not believe it, but if it was, I had to go through a great hard process and withstand high temperatures to become the most precious, desired and valued jewel in the world. A very clear example that explains the writer John F. Bisner Ureña is that when he uses a graphite pencil he really uses the carbon inside, this is the one that has the function of capturing what the hands trace, however this pencil is not nothing if you do not have that piece of carbon inside and so much use all you can notice is the humble footprint that leaves time makes its function, in short it is just a coal.
If you want to change to obtain the triumph, you must remain perseverant, firm and tenacious, we must not weaken ourselves under the pressures of life, if it were not for them we would not be able to be a beautiful jewel that shines in its splendor. Stop a little and think that many of the most successful people in the world had to go through diversities of failures, shame and mockery, but the secret is not to stop, but to go on, helping others selflessly, motivating them to awaken dreams hidden in others, guide and guide, support, this is one of the causes that will undoubtedly lead to success.
When you do things because you like to do good and it is a satisfaction to help others feel that everything you build is invaluable to you, and one day you will realize that doing good (seek first the kingdom of God and his justice) the money and the material things that you need so much will come in addition. If you have a dream and a vision keeps building despite the storms, the ridicule and the shame, in the end everyone will see you shine and God will give you the victory.
We all go through trials, much more if we are under the Holy Spirit's cover, God disciplines us as children, if we do not receive discipline we should worry, but if we receive it, it is because God considers us children and children He wants us to walk and shine as light before a world full of darkness, during your process you have the full decision to choose what path to take, whether to surrender or to continue forward as a warrior who does not need to be ashamed.
For many people, coal is ugly and dirty, no one gives value because it is just a piece of coal, but who could imagine that one day that ugly coal can become the most beautiful jewel and with a spectacular shine that calls the attention of all the eyes of the world? Maybe at this moment you feel like that coal that everyone despises and you even despise yourself, but imagine that by going through and bravely enduring the highest temperatures of the life process you end up being a beautiful diamond, would not it be great?
The diamond would not exist if the coal does not pass through this process so strong and painful, if you think carbon is worthy of being admirable, because it is who has the resistance to endure, although not all carbon always becomes diamond, only that coal that goes through that experience and strong processes is the one who undergoes the glorious transformation.
When you learn from life to take the positive out of negative circumstances is where you start to grow and lead a lifestyle with a perspective that, although not everything is perfect or as we want, we can easily adapt to different situations and see things with good eye and learning. This is growth and quality of life.
God continually invites us to meditate, this leads us to reflection every day, meditating helps you not to make the same mistake several times and be aware of our actions and thoughts, we begin to choose the right ones and discard the bad ones, we begin to think in improving as human beings helping others without expecting anything in exchange for that person, really meditating is very good and when we apply it to the word of God it is glorious.
If the carbon atoms said, "This is more than we can bear, we prefer some easier circum- stances," they could only be >graphite. If the circumstances of the graphite are also avoided, one can not exceed the level of the carbon. Diamonds >are kept in safes and are worn on the most special occasions while graphite has a variety of practical uses as an >industrial material.
As for coal, it ends up burning. In some way, the situation of human beings resembles that of carbon atoms. From a >biological point of view, every person is composed of the same elements, but its value will be logically different >depending on the processes it traverses and the behaviors it shows. Some are patients in the face of misfortune, trust >sincerely in God and end up becoming the diamonds of humanity. Others, to which we could compare with graphite, >achieve an acceptable level, although they can not become diamonds. It is likely that those who choose to assume the >lowest form face a fate similar to that of coal.
