Daily Inspirational Quote September 2 2014
“There is no point at which you can say, “Well, I’m successful now. I might as well take a nap.” – Carrie Fisher
Many of us think if we only got a promotion, new job or a raise, then we could breathe easier and relax more. Usually, however, stress levels remain about the same regardless of our incomes (expenses rise with income) or how successful we seem to be. Stress is not caused so much by the constant effort that life requires, but rather by our resistance to this reality. Can you imagine how uninspiring life would be if everything we could ever want was already ours? It’s wonderful that we all have to keep trying; it keeps us yearning and growing, awake and alive.
