I won’t tell you twice what I can tell you once.

 

Gotcha, life is stressful.  Better yet living is stressful!  From waking up late to no matter how hard times may be in your life.  Now imagine if you can the stresses going on in the world around you?  It’s at this very moment that you realize how stressful living really is.  This is not a doom and gloom message you are reading, there is hope.

Blame it on the ADD baby!  Maybe instead of combating stress, hold on!  Combating?  The word stress alone is stressful …

Damn!  I can’t even read my favorite blog without getting stressed out!

Let me present to you Hardiness!  Hardiness gives you the toughness; it gives you the courage to grow from the stress in your life.  Hardiness begins humbly as a recipe consisting  of:  Commitment, Control and Challenge.  As well as embracing your coping skills and building a solid support network.  A little swagger and attitude help as well.   No, wearing an Affliction-T does not help your hardiness at all!

How will you know when you become hardy?  If you truly are hardy, you express the characteristics and skills above.  Each and everyday no matter what’s stressing you out in life.

Intermission:

Act Two – I Don’t Need a Ride Tonight

Embrace the idea of solving the challenges in your life in an extraordinary way.  As you wrap a snatch grip around the bar do not see the weight as a problem.  Allow extraordinary thoughts to fill your mind and soul.  This is a time to be profound and brilliant, embrace this moment.

The only thing to take away and remember from reading today is that the only true freedom that any of us have in life … Is the right to choose.  Hardiness or Stress?  If you want life to be continually moving forward in a positive fashion.  Full of purpose and passion?  I say … Step up and own every single second and breath of your day!  Become Hardy!
