Hidden Treasure

          Tool #2. Discover the hidden treasure in you!                                     
     I love the legal profession. Notice, I said the profession and not the legal system. Our legal system desires some work, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I love the law (If followed equal justice for all),  It is designed to provide structured rules to govern the behaviors of us, society. These set of rules are imposed by a burden of penalties, if one does not adhere. Well, I say all that to say, my mission is to help govern behaviors of people whom sought my guidance. Their burden of penalties would be to stay in an unproductive stalemate, never tapping into just how valuable they actually are to the world. My “motto” is we all have the ability to solve our own issues, problems, and short-comings. We just need someone to help us pull-out what is suppressed deep down like a hidden treasure. I further explain it as one driving down a long dirt road.
     The night before, it was a torrential storm The high speed winds and run-off caused deep holes in the muddy ground The wet leaves and broken tree branches covered up the sunken holes.  As you were driving making your way to an appointment, BLAM! your front tired dipped in the hole, and your car was stuck You revved the engine and the spinning tire emerged deeper and deeper. What are you going to do? Image, your cell phone has no reception, there is no houses in sight, the road is long, and worst of all, it is getting dark. With no help in sight, most likely you will become frustrated and give up. This is what happens when we are faced with real life situations. We give-up! Why? because we can't see a way out, we stopped before we searched in-depth for a solution. Most of the time, it is easier to cave in than to keep digging. So, we fall short.
     Just when you thought it was over, here comes a car. The knight in shinning armor gets out to assist you. He tells you to only give the car a little gas as he gently rocks it. Back and forward five to six times, he is rocking, holding on to your door.  You are gently gassing. with your foot on the ground helping him rock. Finally, the car jumps out of the hole. How awesome is that? You are out!  He helped you find the hidden treasure in you, which was to try another alternative of escape. You told yourself, if you had not given-up, and thought hard, you probably could have put your foot on the ground, gently rocked the car, as you gently gave it gas yourself.  The solution was already buried inside of you. You just needed someone to help pull it out. 
 IF WE HID SOMETHING, ISN’T IT HIDDEN FOR A REASON? IF WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO SUPPRESS FEELINGS,  AREN'T THEY SUPPRESSED FOR A REASON?  ONCE WE FIND A TREASURE, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. WE SHOULD HOLD ON TO THAT TREASURE AND EMBRACE IT FOR LIFE.  HOW CAN WE DEFINE HURT AND PAIN AS A BEAUTIFUL TREASURE? ANY TIME WE DISCOVER SELF-AWARENESS TO PROMOTE POSITIVE SELF-CHANGE,  WE UNCOVER A WONDERFUL TREASURE THAT WAS HIDDEN INSIDE OF US.
