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

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.

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.

The hero is valorous because he stands up to every threat directed against his values. Heroism requires value conflict.

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