Stress
affects everyone because the pressures of living cut across all boundaries of society. One of the mysteries
of stress is that it effects people differently who face similar situations. There
are those who succumb to stress and develop ulcers, migraine headaches, and
other physical symptoms that can render them unable to function.
Stress-resistant people are open to
change and see stress as a challenge rather than a threat. Change is necessary for
the prevention of mental, spiritual, and emotional stagnation. Where change is unwelcomed,
crises in relationships or within oneself are assured. Crises point to a decisive moment when a person fails to alter the
way life is lived.
People who are stress-resistant
portray a hardiness of character and possess an attitude that's open to
challenging the status quo. Individuals willing to change understand that
stress levels depend on how a specific life event is appraised. They know God
gives each believer a measure of faith and courage to challenge troubles that
come their way.
