When you squeeze a lemon, what comes out?

It’s a great question…When I was asked this question, I answered it how you probably did…”lemon juice”!  That’s not true though.  You hope it’s lemon juice, but what comes out when a lemon is squeezed is what’s inside.

When you get squeezed, when your stuff gets pushed around, when someone messes with your plans, what comes out is what’s inside…your true character.  If it hasn’t happened already, you’re deal is gonna get squeezed.  What separates you from your competition is what is produced when the squeeze happens?

The pro’s rise above the odds, the pressures, the setbacks, the challenges and they play hurt, but still produce something sweet.  That’s why they are pro’s.  They press on under less than ideal circumstances, persevere, win…and people love that, they love the hero…coming from behind.  It isn’t the winning that built their character, it’s what they did when no one was looking that made the difference.  When no one is looking, what are you doing with your time?  Stop kidding yourself, kick your own butt, and build something great.
