Good Morning America's Robin Roberts provided her followers with her transparent take on how she handles the demanding "pressures" of her role.
The journalist took to Instagram for her usual "morning message" during which she revealed how she views the intensity that comes with her career.
She read her written note out loud on her social media and stated: "Sometimes we think we'll get to a perfect place where there's no more pressure. We're looking for a season where everything falls into place, but the truth is, there is something called healthy pressure." Check out the video below.
The TV star further expressed that immense growth comes during challenging times.
Robin continued: "If we were comfortable all the time, you probably wouldn't reach your potential because if you didn't face opposition, and things you don't understand, that are not changing, you would never develop endurance, trust, and character."
The reporter emphasized how vital that pressure is to getting us to places in our life that we could have only dreamed of.

That's not to make your life miserable. That's when you have to know that that pressure is where you can learn to stretch your faith. To pray bold prayers and to believe [in] what looks impossible. That pressure is causing you to get stronger."
The journalist remained grateful for obstacles inspiring her to reach her full potential. Robin concluded: "Thank you for the gift of healthy pressure, that tests and challenges us. Thank you for preparing us and making us stronger. We declare that we will count it all [as] joy and embrace it, knowing it is serving a purpose. Have yourself a blessed day and be a blessing."
