Wisdom of The Ages
I read the story of the Babylon’s king who want to leave the legacy behind by seek out the wisdom of the ages. Here is the excerpt of the story:
The king commissioned the wisest men in his kingdom to seek out the wisdom of the ages. They came back to him with 12 large volumes which they said contained the wisdom of the ages. The king wanted it to be reduced down, so they came back with 3 volumes, but the king thought that was still too much, so it was reduced to 1 volume, but the king wanted something that all of the people in his kingdom could remember, so they came back with 1 chapter, then 1 page, then 1 paragraph. Finally, the wise men reduced the wisdom of the ages into 1 sentence and it said “there aint no free lunch.”
Wisdom of The Ages: THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH
Do you agree with that?
I really enjoyed this post. It’s easy to forget how powerful our physical reactions are! I like your approach here. Especially reminding the reader that we are not always ready for change — though we think we are! I agree that the real failure is letting fear stop us. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Julie,
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad it was helpful! “Coping with Stress” is a part of a series of articles on Stress that I have written, hopefully Life Coaches Blog will be posting the rest. So keep in touch!
Kindest regards,

This is a great article. I especially like the list of symptoms… some of which a lot of people may not recognize as a sign of stress.
It’s also important to continue with your stress managment activities even when there are no signs or symptoms of stress. Doing this will help you become stressed less often and ward off stress before it even begins.
Hi Jill,
Absolutely, it should be a way of life! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Kindest regards,

The physical body does not differentiate between happy stress and overwhelm. Stress is stress. We need to develop coping mechanisms in our daily life to avoid the harmful, physiological effects of stress.
