If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.

Some people are so used to experiencing stress that they don't remember what life was like without it.

The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease. As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasn't been able to keep up.

The reason humans experience so much more stress than other species isn't just because we think more, but also because we think differently.

A hero holds purposes appropriate to man and is, therefore, a thinker.

People often say that stress is a motivator. What we're referring to when we say this is really better described as stimulation and engagement.

Negative thoughts stick around because we believe them, not because we want them or choose them.
