Pressure

Pressure is about tension. It happens when equilibrium cannot be sustained. This is true in the physical world and our psychology. When the world seems to want us to change, our resistance causes pressure. Many choose to give in and live comfortably within predefined limits or social acceptance, some will rebel and others will seek to change it.

My last long-winded blog post is about how we give the power of institutions too much power over our lives. It is very complicated because there are so many obligations in life. Happy people manage to find the correct equilibrium among work, finance, relationship, leisure, service and rest, as they learn about their passion in life.

It begins with knowing who I am and testifying to that truth to everyone we love, nurture those relationships what make us grow and simplify the obligations institutions have on us. The focus on the bigger picture that being human trumps the role we take on is always a struggle. But only then will we have a chance to progress.
