The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.

The elusive truth is that there is nothing stress-producing in the physical world. Things simply are. Molecules move. Light and sound appear.

Stress is the negative whirlwind of emotions that gets imposed on top of our stimulation and engagement.

Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.

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

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

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.
