Pressure is Privilege

Pressure is Privilege

“Pressure is a privilege.”  It just so happens to be the title of the book by tennis legend Billy Jean King.  I haven’t read the book, but my mind started to wonder.  Each of us has to deal with different  types of pressure on a daily basis.  We often look at the pressure under which we must perform as being a burden, something from which we would like to be freed.  Pressure isn’t exactly something we all want more of in our lives.  Pressure is a privilege because it means there is something expected of you.  If you are experiencing some sort of pressure, from clients, suppliers, employees, your employer, family, friends, your spouse, children, neighbors, teachers, mentors, coaches, etc. could it be because there is an expectation of you to perform to take some kind of action producing a great outcome?  Pressure is the privilege of being responsible, of carrying responsibility, or proving to others that we have what it takes to come through for them.  Sometimes pressure is what we need to achieve our greatest results!  Pressure is a reminder that we have others depending on us to be the best we can be.  Speaking for myself, I’ve came a mighty long way and I’m constantly reminded that I NEVER cracked under pressure from my previous lifestyle, so I’m going to embrace the pressures of today and let it enable me to be the best I can be and also motivate others

U.N.I.T.Y

These days Unity isn’t a very strong word.  Somehow we’ve forgotten what it even means.  With all of the violence against one another and our friends and family losing their lives from senseless acts of violence, unity is the farthest thought from our minds.  We are beginning to harbor negativity towards those who are meant to protect and serve or trying to find a suitable place to point the blame for all of the darkness.

At MoCo Life 910, we feel that it is important for us to create unity in our communities and not division so we decided to put our words into action.  We have officially planned our first annual Unity March on August 13, 2016.

The Unity March is geared towards creating solidarity between our community members and county/city/town officials.  Upon completion of the March, we wanted to continue the vision of unity by bringing the community together at the park where our volunteers will work to provide free food, water, and school supplies for the Montgomery County Residents in attendance.

The success of this event will be credited largely to our sponsors and volunteers who lend their names, financial support, and time to this event. The money we raise will help fund the materials and resources needed to make this event a success.   For more information about how you can support this event, we can be contacted by email at mocolife910@gmail.com.
