“Stress is the deficit between expectations and current reality.”
Close the gap, and the pressure lifts.
[Introduction; Lesson 5.4]: Stress doesn’t come from the work itself—it comes from the gap between what we expect and the reality we’re living. When expectations are unrealistic, the pressure builds. When they’re aligned with truth, stress eases. Instead of pushing harder against the wall, ask: Where can I reset expectations? Every time you close that gap, you reclaim peace, clarity, and control.
