Loading Kristen Aldridge data from Instagram. Please wait... @kristen.aldridge : Why embracing stress is the key to success.
🙌
Many of the world’s highest achievers use stress as a fuel rather than a weight. They actually see it as a benefit instead of a burden. An opportunity to test themselves against adversity and difficulty. It’s this type of mentality that has created some of the greatest minds in the modern era. As @justluminate #changemaker @kalepanoho writes:
✨
J.K. Rowling was stressed when she was let go for brainstorming too often at work. As a result, she struggled to feed her family. Finding her path through that stress, she created one of the greatest children’s book series of all time.
📚
Steve Jobs was stressed when he was fired from Apple. When he dealt with that stress, he created another incredible company called Pixar.
🍎
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and philosopher, whose writings have survived the past 2000 years, actively sought out stress on a day-to-day basis.
📓
These great people not only dealt with stress, they sometimes would deliberately expose themselves to it—to learn, grow and excel.
💪
You’ve been fired? Good, you can now practice the art of interviewing and pitching your skills to prospective employers.
💃🏻
Has your work been deleted on a tight timeline? Great, you can now write it again and with greater insights while testing your time management abilities.
🖥
You’re down to your last dollar and have bills to pay? This is a learning opportunity for being resourceful and finding innovative ways of creating money.
💸
Stress is ultimately a matter of perception and like any obstacle or adverse event, it can be turned to your benefit. “Run to the fire. Don’t hide from it.”
