Something To Reflect On Today

Good morning gentlemen,

I was thinking this morning at breakfast and I was having a glass of orange juice, this came to mind that we all need to consider. If I was to take an orange and squeeze it ask you what will come out you would probably say juice. And if I said well, no matter how hard squeeze it do you think you’ll ever get pineapple juice out of this? Do you think you’ll get cranberry juice? Do you think you’ll get apple juice you’d say no,of course not you would get orange juice. If I were to further ask you, why when I squeeze this orange,orange juice come out it’s an orange and that’s what’s inside. That’s the answer. That’s the truth when you squeeze an orange you get out of it what’s inside. If we extend that metaphor to yourself, and someone squeezes you that is put pressure on you that it says something about you, that you find offensive; whatever it might be. If someone squeezes you and what comes out of you from anger, and out of you comes hatred, and out comes judgment, criticism, condemnation, fear comes out of you. Out comes all kinds of stuff because you’ve been squeezed. You don’t wanna be squeezed; and you believe in your heart, somehow you believe that it was the person who squeeze me that caused this to come out of me. But the truth of it is just like the orange; when someone squeezes you, and out of you comes anything, it’s because that’s what’s inside.

Gentlemen, it’s time to really look deep inside and do some self reflection and evaluation of ourselves, who are we? What do we represent? What do we want people to see in us? It’s not too late to change, what is holding you back is you.
