The secret of life: It isn't what happens to you that matters most, but rather what you do about what happens to you.

Our experience of stress is directly related to our ability to minimize the impact of demands on our resources while achieving what we believe to be the best possible outcome for each situation. Therefore, we create a stressful experience if we don't see ourselves handling life's demands successfully. We reduce stress when we acquire the ability to achieve successful outcomes.

When we think anxiously about the future we forfeit the present moment, and thus, we don't experience the fullness that life has to offer us right now or in the future.

It is our hope and dreams that makes us great. By pursuing our dreams we transform ourselves -- we become co-creators of who we are, our lives, and our destiny. Click here to see an outline of my workshop on Stress Management.
