Today's Inspiration: Too Much Stress

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world....   
John 16:33

Not all stress is bad. Stress causes the tension which holds a suspension bridge over raging waters. Stress on the strings of a violin allows the beautiful melody to come from the fingers of the master as he glides his bow across the strings. But of course, too much stress causes the bridge to collapse and the strings of the violin to snap.
Most people operate better and are far more productive with some stress. The problem is not stress but too much stress.
In the Upper Room Discourse Jesus told the disciples, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). The word Jesus used, thlipsis, translated "trouble" includes stress. In the world you will have stress, but you don't have to be consumed by it. Coping - not eliminating all stress - is the key to moving form mere survival to significance.

Today's Stars

An enticing choice may be dazzling and intriguing on the surface. Its value may seem obvious. It may excite you. It may inspire you. But all of that may be only in your own mind, Taurus. You need to look deeper. You need to figure out why that particular option appeals to you. And once you do you need to look at what's available to you from a fresh perspective. If you can balance your desire, and look more realistically at what is on offer, you will make an excellent choice.
