A hero has faced it all: he need not be undefeated, but he must be undaunted.

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

You can't tell yourself that your stress is produced in your head and feel better. You still need to learn how to create a change.

You might think that shifting your thoughts is as easy as setting your mind to it. But stressful thoughts aren't held in place through choice or will power. They're held in place through perceived truth value.

To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets 'out there' that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital.

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

The more you worry, the more you throw off the delicate balance of hormones required for health.
