Stress

Stress is a serious disease that is killing us slowly and painfully. There is no reason for all this stress, we bring it on ourselves.

What causes stress?

Satan, he convinces us that houses, cars, money, our jobs and so many other things are so important to us, and that we just have to have them. We start to idolize them and forget about God, we break 1 of the 10 commandments by worshiping other idols rather than God. Whenever you go against God, there will be consequences and stress is one of those consequences.

As a truck driver, I see people in a hurry everyday, not realizing their stress meter getting higher and higher daily. I admit, I'm no saint, far from it. I do get angry when people cut me off on the road, and afterwords I have to ask God to not only forgive them, but also to forgive me and help me to overcome this bad habit within me.

I'm sure we all have these little bad habits in us, but if we are sincere about working on bettering ourselves, God will see it and help us, because God is forgiving and understanding.

Lets start with;

1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Before you cut in front of somebody, or scream at somebody, or anything else that suggests negative feelings. Ask yourself, "How would that make me feel?" If your answer is anything other than "Good", then don't do it. You're just cutting years off your own life!

2) Slow down, smell the roses, look around and lend a hand.
You would be surprised at how great you will feel, by doing this step. Don't worry, everything will still be there and you will not only be more productive at whatever you do in life, by following this step. You will also be happier, live longer and pass on Gods love without even realizing it. People will thank you, the world will be much brighter and NO, you don't have to thank me, I'm just doing what comes natural, thanks to God.

May God be with you always!
