We all enjoy pushing ourselves to accomplish our objectives. But we don't need stress to get there.

People around the world now complain about stressors everyday, and the word shows up throughout professional and lay literature. But in reality there is no such thing as a stressor. Why not? Because nothing has the inherent power to provoke stress.
