It would be nice if we could simply eliminate stress in our
lives with a pill, but that is not the case. Neither is it likely that
you will reach a point where you have fixed all of your problems
and have no challenging situations to face. You may say
that people or events in your life are stressful, but really stress
is something you generate yourself within your own mind.
Controlling the effects of stress will require understanding
yourself better, not changing your outside environment.
Consider, for example, two young men taking a graduate
school entrance exam. Imagine they are taking the same exam
and that both are equally prepared, but one person arrives at the
classroom with sweaty palms and a racing heartbeat, while the
other remains perfectly calm and relaxed. What really makes
the difference here? -Ilchi Lee
“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
