A Stress Free Life

I just heard a quote that made me stop and really evaluate the words that I had taken in: Stress is resisting what is. I've been sitting here trying to get some very important work done but that quote keeps repeating in my mind. I think those words resounded with me so greatly because it seemed so easy when I heard it and so correct. God only wants the best for us but sometimes, actually most times we don't take the lessons that He gives us in the good and wonderful things that He provides; and so more negative situations occur in our lives. All those stressful, anxiety causing problems that happen to us are a direct result of not getting the easy lesson. The stress that we feel from those "negative lessons" is just a result of us still not getting the hard lesson the easiest way possible. Think about living a stress free life by just accepting what God has put in front of you. Imagine that. I know it's a very hard idea to accept because I truely think it's part of our human nature to worry and stress about things but in striving to be the person that God wants you and I to be, we need to let that trait go.
