To wait for the external world to change before you alleviate your stress is a fool’s errand. You know what is beyond that mountain? More fucking mountains. If you’re going to climb, then you better adapt. Chronic stress is less about the environment, and more about your response to it. So own it. Put yourself intentionally into the occasional fire, and take yourself intentionally out of the chronic stress oven. It’s a choice, your choice. Take that power and never give it away—especially to something as capricious as fate and fortune.
