Before we begin

I am unyielded in my pursuit of a victorious life.

We do not always control what happens to us. But we hold absolute authority over how we define that pressure, and therefore how we move forward. This is Kintsugi: what life broke open, we filled with gold, and now we are more precious, more valuable for it.

The pressure was never punishment. It was preparation. It reveals us. As with the Diamond, you were not placed under pressure to be destroyed. You were placed under pressure to become.
