“Pressure is a privelage.” ~Billie Jean King

Does it ever feel like pressure is out to get you?
For years, experts in performance psychology have told us that pressure is the “enemy of success.”
It seems logical, right?
After all, under pressure, things can go sideways. Deadlines get blown. People choke. Sometimes, terrible things happen.
But here’s the twist: pressure isn’t the bad guy.
It can be one of your most unexpected allies—if you allow it.
Think about it: What’s a deadline, if not pressure’s way of snapping us out of procrastination and forcing us to get things done?
At the Olympics—where the stakes are enormous and the pressure is sky-high—not all athletes crumble; in every Olympics, world and Olympic records are set.
Why is that?
If pressure were truly the enemy of success, why are so many ‘successful’ people known for navigating pressure-filled waters?
Consider Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, or Nelson Mandela. Weren’t they immersed in some of the most pressure-packed circumstances imaginable?
Isn’t their heroism defined by how they navigated that pressure, rather than crumbled under it?
Here’s the truth: Pressure isn’t inherently good or bad—it’s neutral, precisely like the force of habit.Whether we like it or not, it’s not going away anytime soon.
Pressure was with you the day you were born, and it’s certain to be with you until your final breath.
Thus, it’s probably worth understanding it better.
