Most of us are a hard worker. We tried to work based on our personal goals. One thing for sure, we wanted to secure our future. The path to success is not an easy path. In this path, we usually meet difficulties in life. These difficulties can be considered our ‘stressors.’ It is so overwhelming situations. The downside part, if we cannot balance our life between stressors and family; then, our life will start to fall apart. The course of action is to keep our life in balance and deal with the stressors.

If I am going to look back, I was a certified worrier person. Then, I realized what's the use of being stressed if things are turning upside down. It is better to deal the stressors one step at a time and if it cannot be solved overnight, then there is another day to face them.

@ridingbet I think some of my siblings have their own personality. It is a good thing that they are also warriors.

I started work at twenty and slowed down after fifty but continued for another fifteen years at a slower pace.
I am a professional accountant and I knew my salary could have been double but I did not want a stressful job at the cost of my health. I surmised I do not need that extra money anyway.
Overall, I have no regrets at all and I have enough to manage the rest of my life - siva

Oh, boy! We have the same pattern of lifestyle. I was so high in expectations to reach certain goals and eager to reach them at a fast pace. But then, I realized it wasn't healthy at all. You can still pursue certain personal goals at a slow pace after all.

I handle pressure by facing it and overcome it by diverting my mind into other things that would make me happy and relax and that is listening to music.
With regards to your sentence talking about the path of success, I just want to impart something to you and that is "Do not go where the path may lead, but rather go instead where there is no path and leave a trail". Have a blessed day!

I stop, take a breather and clip some coupons or I do something good for someone else.

Its true. I struggle big time with stress and depression from dealing with other peoples things they messed up and have left my family and I to deal with. Its hard!
But I look at my girls and that all the motivation I need to work hard. I can't wait til the house remodel is done!

I can feel you, my friend. I am in such situation where I need to face my evil relatives. The only difference is to move out from the family house and to build a new house for the family. I was hoping that it will be resolved early next year. I do work hard for my family and take it slow in some other things.

I have found and still find myself in extreme situations, at such times, I do my best to extract myself from such situations, I have changed jobs due to this, unfriended people who aggravate my stress etc. But most of all, I am blessed to have family I can call and talk to. This process helps me a lot.
