Hello Everyone, One confirmed truth about this life is that, everyone has to work in order to earn a means of surviving, unless you were born with a silver spoon, where for example your father or mother give a lifelong inheritance that could change your life forever.
Lets be real for a moment , I know most of us reading this post must have at one time in their life ask a rhetorical question like , do we all come to this world to survive?, this is because the pursuit of success can be a very wild and crazy ride, filled with ups, downs, and almost everything in between.
One thing that we have often thrown around or believe as hustlers is the idea that stress is an inherent part of working towards success. But is it really? Can we achieve greatness without burning out?
The Conventional Wisdom: Stress = Success or No pain = No Gain?
Yes many a time, We've all heard it before some phrases or words like: "No pain, no gain." "Success doesn't come easy." "You've got to put in the work." Wether in your place of work or maybe at the gym or your regular meet-ups in different areas of life, many people do say the above. Most of the time what that simply means is that stress is a necessary evil, a badge of honor even, that we wear as proof of our dedication. They will even say; without hard work, you won't have a valuable story to tell. According to some successful people, they say that success requires hard work, and then hard work requires long hours or persistent trials, which then requires a long hours of sacrifice, and sacrifice leads to stress.
So stress can stretch you pass how much your body can regularly take, it can be a major motivator, pushing us to meet deadlines and meeting or set goals. But stress can be very bad and toxic for you health. I will take myself for example, whenever I am too stressed I end up not achieving not much, it also affects my days of work, I planned for this last quarter of the year to do some learning, Cyber security, Learning Keyboard and Guitar and getting some expansion done to my business. These days I have been so choked up with activities, and the stress was not making me meet much target. I ended up getting tired and the fatigue was much. This week my Tutor for my cyber security course was supposed to meet me up on Monday Wednesday and Friday, he gave me assignment and Tasks to do but, right no I am yet to make any progress.
Is there any solution to success without being stressed???
According to the scriptures, whenever God bless you, you can never be stressed. Having joy in what you are doing is the biggest win. Let's Take, for example, business people or entrepreneurs who build businesses around their passions, or artists who create from a place of joy. Note that all these people are in anyway immune to stress, but they've found ways to manage it, often by staying true to their why. We don't need to always be burn out and stressed anytime we work. Get a way to balance up, and make your happiness and wellbeing a priority for you. We can always find a way to achieving greatness in whatever we do without being stressed out.
