The Orange Squeeze
One time when giving a talk, renowned author Wayne Dyer brought an orange with him to the stage. He then asked a 12 year old in the front row,
“If I were to squeeze this orange as hard as I could, what would come out?”
The boy looked at him like he was crazy and said, “Juice, of course.”
“Why? Why, when you squeeze an orange, does orange juice come out?”
“Well, it’s an orange, and that’s what’s inside.”
Dyer nodded, and then said
“Let’s assume that this orange is you. And someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, or offends you.
It’s one of the great lessons of life. It doesn’t matter who does the squeezing–your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, the government.
If someone says something about you that you don’t like, what comes out of you is what’s inside. And what’s inside is up to you. It’s your choice.”
So, what’s coming out of you lately? Love?
If not, it’s a sign that something is off. It’s time to re-balance. It’s time for self-care. So that the next time you get squeezed, you can react the way you want to.
