Today I bring you a text that Rodri shared in your newsletter and I liked it a lot.
I always like to use the metaphor of an orange.
I love oranges. Maybe it's because I live in Florida.
It's a very simple metaphor.
You grab an orange and squeeze it as hard as you can.
What's going to come out?
Orange juice.
No matter how many times you squeeze it, apple juice will never come out. Grapefruit juice will never come out.
The only thing that's going to come out is juice. orange.
And the next question is:
Because?
Why is it that when you squeeze an orange as hard as you can, orange juice comes out?
I once asked that question in Toronto. There was a little girl sitting right in the front row.
He looked at me and said, "What a silly question. Because that's what's inside.".
I told him: Well, that's the answer. You're very intelligent.
She smiled, delighted.
But that's the truth.
The reason orange juice comes out when you squeeze an orange is because that's what's inside.
Now let's take the metaphor a little further.
Someone is putting pressure on you.
Someone says something about you that you don't like. Someone treats you in a way that you find offensive. Someone does or says something that hurts you.
And from you comes anger, hatred, bitterness, tension, fear, anxiety, stress.
You immediately say, “This came out of me because of how he spoke to me.” “It was because of the way she said that.” “It was because they did that.”.
But the truth is that what comes out is what's inside.
And if you don't like what's inside, you can change it.
Now, if you ask me how orange juice gets inside an orange, I'd say I don't know…
I can't explain it. It's a mystery to me.
I simply enjoy the oranges of my life and give God the credit for that.
