Stress like any feeling is very personal. It is the silent response.
Most people can cope with a lot of stress.
However, problems arise when things pile up and they become unsure of their ability to cope. We feel it within our control, it gives us a big buzz, generating energy, drive and excitement. We choose to take a risk, sky-diving or embarking on a new business venture, and the adrenaline surges. It is undoubtedly stressful, but immensely exhilarating. We feel in control.
