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

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.

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.

The reason humans experience so much more stress than other species isn't just because we think more, but also because we think differently.

Stress is not the spice of life any more than arsenic is. And without it, you won't feel bored.

The less you think counterfactually, the less you experience stress. Stress, in this light, isn't a bad thing. It's simply a warning system telling you that your mind has lost touch with what's real.
