Takin' it to the Grave

"The perfect no-stress environment is the grave. When we change our perception we gain control. The stress becomes a challenge, not a threat. When we commit to action, to actually doing something rather than feeling trapped by events, the stress in our life becomes manageable." - Greg Anderson, Author of "The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of Wellness"

Upon seeing me all stressed out one day years ago, a friend of mine told me, "Dan, I don't know WHY you worry about all these little things. In 5 Years is it really going to matter?" "It's not a heart-lung machine we are talking about here!"

Those words summed up STRESS to me. They changed the way I viewed the world after that. Stress should only be a challenge, not a threat as Greg Anderson states in his quote. Stress is manageable and is only what you make it.

We obviously can't regard everything as having no urgency, however we can realize that we should not "Sweat the little things". In five years it really won't matter.

Classic example of useless Stress is 'Road Rage'. What does it matter if you arrive alive at your destination safe and sound a little later than anticipated. Don't let yourself become trapped by the events you have no control over.

I hope you have a Great and Wonderful Day!
