Stress

Stress is not a status symbol. (Charlie Birch, British athlete)

The higher one climbs on the ladder of success, the greater the stress seems to be. In fact, one might judge a person by the amount of stress he’s experiencing. That doesn’t seem to make much sense; why would a person want to have that kind of responsibility? Having capable associates on the job can help. Even more helpful: a trust in God’s help and guidance.

As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands. (Psalm 119:143)
