Squeeze an orange and what comes out? Not apple juice. Not grapefruit juice. No matter how hard you squeeze, only what's already inside can come out. And life squeezes every person. When someone cuts you off in traffic or speaks unkindly, a rush of rage, anger and hurt may come out ? not because of that lone incident, but because those feelings already existed inside you. The next time a condition squeezes you, notice what feelings come out. Recognize a painful moment as an opportunity to take a closer look at what's been going on inside.
