Is Stress Good For Us?

[classicman]

Well said glatt. For a long time I had the typical stress in my life, the former. Yes I made things worse at times by procrastinating, but the rush of completing things and achieving goals was wonderful. Sometimes to the point on pushing everything I could to the last moment possible, just to increase the "high" of still getting it done.

The last couple years have been very different. My life is completely different and I have very limited options. Some things simply will not change. Planning for the future now means planning for a life long after I am gone.
There are things that I have absolutely no control over, aside from my attitude, and they weigh very heavy on me - especially when I obsess on them.

Achievement solves the former and acceptance eases the burden of the latter.
That's about where I am now.
