“If you can’t handle stress, you won’t manage success.”
Is this true from your experience of life?

Nope. I don’t equate being able to handle to stress to always being successful. But success means different things to everyone. I just know stress shut me down this year and I still managed to come out of everything breathing and thriving in my own way. I didn’t try to handle it at all. I simply let it exist because it was that big of a force and honestly I was too small to conquer it. It was sheer luck that success came anyway.
But at work I do handle it because it benefits the overall success of the machine functioning efficiently and I’m very much aware that I have to be the bigger force against the stress others can’t manage properly.

@BrandNewMan I think stress at work vs stress in personal life often can be two different animals. However, generally speaking handling of stress for a leader in an orignazation or at home has a major affect on others. You make or break your teams. If you get stressed out and cannpt handle, are considered incompetent and unable to lead.
A calm and collected person able to see the big picture makes the world of difference whether it is at work or home.
Staying calm and collected is not always possible, i get it, however they energy we project on others is also evident.

@ScreamingFox Unfortunately it is an inherent part of this world, from the day we arrive..until the day we depart.

@FieldMarshal I do like a moderate amount of stress, let's call it adversity or challenge. No stress whatsoever, I find a little boring. I like a little stress that I can manage and overcome.

@JimboSaturn Me too, for some reason I thrive on it at work it is little exciting. Not always, but most of the time, not when you are in planning phase.
