When first born, one does not enter the world knowing how to live. Regardless of how rich, or famous, or well-loved, or cuddled and cooed, we must go through a process of learning.
In order to master the essentials that goes with "a good life," it is imperative that we put forth personal efforts--again and again and again.
Learning to live with less stress is nonetheless. We have to extend our minds and bodies and time and determination. If we are to go from stressed-out individuals to mature stress-survivors, we'll have to invest consistent efforts.
Many of us are not living well in the area of stress because, like many other areas in our lives, we don't know how. So what if we're adults? Not knowing is not knowing, regardless of our years.
Whatever age or stage we may be, surely we've some recollection of first time endeavors and how we had to "learn" to do this-and-that before doing them well. From walking and talking, to potty-training, to riding a bicycle, to driving a car, to exploring those hush-hush territories, learning was key.
And whatever we learned or whenever we learned it, one age-old observation remains true: We have to crawl before we walk . . . Here, again, learning is a process.
As we pursue the art of living well and determine more and more to de-stress, we must be willing to learn-- and to do whatever it takes to be victorious. As long as it's not unhealthy or unholy.
Peace I leave with you . . .
