Who's in Charge?

These days everybody seems stressed out. Just listen, and you will hear discussions on how stress affects people as they try to move through their lives. People complain about stress, joke about it, use it as an excuse for their mistakes, and most of all, they worry about what it is doing to them, both physically and emotionally.

In my opinion joy in living does not come from managing our stress or misery. It comes from a rekindling of our spirit - rediscovering a passion for living, loving and working. More importantly, I believe that only those who realize that they, and not the events in their lives, have the power can actually take charge of themselves and therefore, rekindle their spirits. It does not matter whether they define the source of that power in religious or psychological or emotional terms. They have to see that the power in them.
I believe we must look at what we are bringing to life, and not just what life is offering us. We must examine what our beliefs are and how they translate our daily lives.
We must challenge everything we believe - not necessarily change it - but challenge it. everything worth believing is worth challenging, if we just change our behaviors and not our thinking processes and beliefs, the new behaviors probably will not last.
as Socrates said, " The life unexamined is not worth living."
Unfortunately, many of us do not examine life in the way he meant. We just bitch about it.
