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

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

During the financial crisis, I worked with hundreds of executives who struggled as a result of their thoughts about job security. When their beliefs changed, so did their emotional experience - and they were then able to focus on the task at hand more effectively.

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

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.

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.
