Rise to the Actual Level of Stress

Many situations call for us to rise to the actual level of stress. This to me means that we are highly dependent on the context of the situation around us. For the most part, all we can really do (consistently) is to respond to how things are changing around us; we are a part of the system and are not—by any stretch of the imagination—the system itself. Systems are dynamic and we have to see and recognize ourselves as being a key and critical part of those systems. We must treat them carefully. We need to think very carefully about different perceptions and realities and decide to act in accordance with our beliefs and wishes. Act cautiously. Although we may be in a position of power or leadership, our thoughts should drastically govern our speech and actions. Seek to change the perceptions around us through our intuition and inner strength. Be careful with what you say and think very critically about the 'network effects' of your actions. You are at the center of the system but you are not the system yourself!
