A pressure cooker utilizes internal pressure and heat to forcefully confine the energy required for heating something. This forced energy increases the input and subsequently cooks food faster in a more confined environment.

It is interesting that this physics principle creates an internal pressure system that forces energy into a positive output. The pressure builds, the food heats up, cooks, and the desired outcome is achieved in a much faster and more detailed manner.

Pressure, in any circumstance, can have a positive effect, and the desired result can be achieved more quickly, effectively, and in a detailed manner. However, failing to manage the pressure can result in excessive heat, energy, and pressure, causing the food to burn and be destroyed faster than expected.

Managing pressure can either work for or against you. Successful management creates a pathway to achieve an outcome faster and more effectively. On the other hand, improper management can lead to destruction and a negative outcome, which can quickly and unexpectedly arise.

When the pressure builds and it seems like there is nowhere to go, external factors emerge, internal emotions intensify, constant reminders of upcoming events and tasks start to creep in, and unknowns begin to appear. That is when the pressure cooker begins to cook. The energy becomes more and more confined, the heat rises, the pressure consolidates, and you are tested in the arena.

When you enter that arena you are left with decisions aplenty, decisions that dictate the outcome of the pressure cookers work. Work that can help develop you, it can help destroy you, or you may just escape. I think pressure is an amazing opportunity to develop oneself. Sure, you may win some, you may lose some, but within that moment in the arena, you have opportunities to coordinate your thoughts, compile a plan and pursuer it win or lose. Embrace those moments of pressure, learn, develop and strategies, so that one day you understand the right temperature, time and pressure required, to cook a perfect meal.
