Much like that famous quote from the movie Wallstreet, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good," I think I like stress. Taken alone and out of context, it really appears to be one of the worst concepts imaginable, like greed being good. I have to admit, though, that when I'm stressed, I do better. When lots of things are happening, I get focused. When pandamonium erupts, I become effective. When things look the most bleak, I personally find some hope and energy. That must mean that, "stress, for lack of a better word, is a motivator". I think you can/should quote me on that. So, should I go looking for more stress in my life? Do I need to sit down and create a list of wants that I don't really need so that my greed can increase? Can I find ways to worry about how to get what I need to provide what I want? That seems like the ultimate compilation of stress and greed, so it must be perfect! Of course that sounds ludicrous, but it also seems like there has got to be a thread of truth in there too. Somehow, somewhere stress is serving a function, and I think I LIKE IT.
