Many people desire to become great in life but they are not ready to pay the price. They want to achieve great things on a platter of gold without being stressed. To achieve the best out of life you have to step out of your comfort zone. Greatness entails diligence and hard work.
If I will tell you the truth, there is nothing we do that does not entail stress. It is just that the degree of stress varies. What might seem stressful to you, might not seem stressful to another, that's why we must learn to manage stress the right way.

I'm not in support of being stressed to the stage of losing yourself just because you want to make the best out of life. Learn to understand yourself and the threshold at which you can handle or manage stress. When you notice you are about losing yourself as a result of stress, it's better to take a break and relax. Remember, it's a healthy mind and body that can make the best out of life. Learn to manage stress and maintain a balance at what you do.
I remember after my youth service on 2019, I had to return back home because of the crisis that was happening in the north. My plan was to stay back at Kaduna after my youth service but things changed due the crisis in the North. On getting home, I stayed with my parents for almost two months before I decided to travel to Ibadan just to look for job and start a new phase of my life. It wasn't a easy decision, knowing that I have to cater for myself all alone. While with my parents I have access to free food, shelter and other privileges.
Does this of decision of mine comes with stress? Yes , it was full of stress. I had to relocate to ibadan and was scoting with a friend. The first job I got was a teaching job in a private secondary school. I was teaching six classes and I was also assigned as a class teacher. It wasn't easy at all. I had no choice than to take the job because I can't call my parents for money. With little amount I earned from the job I was able to take care of myself.
After few years, I got a better Job than the teaching job. It was indeed a day of joy for me when I received my appointment letter. I'm always grateful to God for taking the decision of relocating from my parents house to another state. This decision gave me a lot of privileges. I became stronger and better. If I have choose to avoid stress, I won't have become who I am today.
Most times, the things we desire will not always come in an easy way, most time it involves consistency and hardwork which can be stressful. Trust me, when the outcome of your hardwork produce a good result, you will forget all the stress you went through before achieving such an awesome result.
