People who experience a higher level of stress in their lives are more likely to find meaning in their lives.

And that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host Sean Crox and it's Sean Crox and dot com.

Today's message is huge.

This concept, this idea, this science is huge game changer.

When I learned about this, my mind was blown and the way that I saw everything,

the way that I was just relating to life and hard work and success and going after the dream completely changed.

And I got it as a result of reading the upside of stress, a phenomenal book by today's speaker, Dr Kelly McGonigal.

And that's where I learned that stress is nowhere near as bad as I thought it was if I perceived it not to be as bad as I thought it was.

You know, as I talked about yesterday, I was in the house base for nine years.

And so when you're in the house base, it's like you got to try to keep your stress real low.

You got to make sure you get eight to nine hours of sleep.

And if you don't, then your whole body is going to explode.

That's not true.

Of course, sleep is good for you.

Don't get me wrong on that, but sometimes I ask entrepreneurs in the house base were so afraid to give up a couple hours of sleep here and there that it impedes our ability to move forward in our businesses and our desire to keep our stress level so low.

It keeps us from growing as people.

It keeps us from really finding meaning in our lives as you're about to learn in this talk.

And so I hope you enjoy this again as Dr Kelly McGonigal, I highly recommend her book, the upside of stress.

Here's Dr McGonigal.

Hello.
