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.

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

Find the beliefs that are strangling your feelings, challenge them for your sake as well as theirs, and see how it feels to love someone without a thought about the future, simply for who they are today.

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

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.

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.
