No Grit, No Pearl

Start your quote today at https://www.coverhound.com/moxiemoments Welcome to Moxie Moments, the podcast that explores life's challenges and the courage it takes to overcome them. I'm your host, Caitlin Saenz. Diamonds are created under immense pressure. It's a truly an all or nothing process. Either the pressure creates a diamond or it doesn't. There is no choice, there is no in-between, that's it. But pearls on the other hand are created when an irritant, like a tiny grain of sand, enters an oyster. And then that oyster has a choice. It can either let that irritant stay there uncomfortably in pain even, or it can slowly, patiently coat it with layer after layer of nekar, which is also known as mother of pearl. And this process eventually creates something so beautiful and valuable, which is the pearl. And life throws both types of challenges at us, right? Again, it doesn't matter what you do, where you're at, you're getting both types of challenges.
