“Stress is the deficit between expectations and current reality.”
And you have far more control over one element than the other.
[Lesson 5.4] Stress doesn’t come from reality—it comes from the gap between what you expect and what is. You can’t always control circumstances, but you can adjust expectations. When you bring the two closer together, tension eases and clarity returns. Managing stress isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning your view with truth. Close the gap, and you’ll find peace where pressure used to live.
