Learning to deal with life's stresses
Examining the shell of a fired-charred building is a depressing experience. Buildings often burn because their electrical systems are overloaded. The circuits are unable to withstand the intense heat generated by the current. People burn out in much the same way. When their systems can no longer stand the strain of their stress-filled lives, they self destruct. Only the shell of the person is left. When worry and tension get beyond our "load limit" we are robbed of the pleasure of accomplishment and the joy we should find when we are with family and friends. I believe that there are some simple, positive steps that you and I can take to help us deal with stress in our life. First, "For what will I sell my time?" My question is not how we shall spend a morning, but how we will spend a lifetime. What are your goals for life? Does every assignment, every project, every meeting contribute to your goals? A second question, "Why am I doing what I do?" No doubt, you have heard the lines, "Tis the greatest treason to do the right thing for the wrong reason." The chief victim of my treason is myself if I let the fulfillment of a goal or ideal be the means of determining my worth as a person. The third question, "Who is in control of my life?" Many words have been written regarding the existence of God. Yet the battle for most of us is not yet waged in the science laboratory or the ivory tower of philosophy. It is fought in the centre of the human heart where we refuse to surrender our independence and control. God declares that all those who accepts His will for their lives are justified on the basis of His forgiving love. It is then, that our life becomes a greatful response to His creative goodness and we can begin to experience freedom from the stress of trying to live up to impossible goals. Stress, (anxiety and worry) is ultimately defeated by practicing the principle of living for God one day at a time. I'd be happy to send you a leaflet that could help you accomplish this. It is titled 'Living one Day at a Time'. To receive you complimentary copy: Email me or write to me at P.O Box 1540, Albany W.A 6331. Telephone / Fax (08) 98 418 418
