Going Through Stressful Times

Christians say that if God brings you to it, he'll bring you through it.  I've never been a Christian, but I will say that some things in life are inevitable.  They are going to happen. You can fight it or you can rise above and accept the change and move on, knowing that this stressful time is temporary and beyond the stress, is another period of happiness, lightness, and good times. 

I think stress is so often self inflicted. Stress can be something that happens to you, but often, it's really just how you think and feel and react to what's happening that creates (or doesn't) the stress. 

My wish for everyone I care about is to understand at some point how they can mold their life into what they want instead of being a victim of circumstance. Take it as it comes and  do the best you can. 

Like floating on your back down a peaceful clear river, with no aim or destination, but living the moment and knowing the river keeps going.
