"We must take responsibility for who we are and what we've become.
Darryl, a relative of mine, shared with me the analogy of the orange. If you squeeze an orange, he says, you will get orange juice. It doesn't matter who squeezes it, where or when this is done, or what kind of implement is used. If you squeeze an orange, what comes out is orange juice.
The same holds true for each of us. When the pressure is on--regardless of when, where, why, or who is inducing the pressure--all that can come out is what genuinely is inside of us.
