Steve, this is so true! I have had so many great experiences because I intentionally put myself into potentially stressful situations. Not only can it be fun and memorable, but it is extremely important for growth in all facets of life. Glad you made it out of Costa Rica!

I agree with you that there’s too much focus on stress reduction. It’s as if people think that all stress is bad. It’s not. I’ve often put myself in stressful situations on purpose. I guess you could say that I’m randomizing my stress. It happens a lot of times when I’m traveling. You’re put in unusual or uncomfortable situations and you have to work around it. When I was stranded in a city in Costa Rica once I had to scramble to find transportation out to the next city. I honestly didn’t know where it was going to come, but I worked on it anyway. Eventually I overcame it. I don’t think it was bad for me at all. In fact, I learned quite a bit out of the experience.

Haha yes Kyle, that is definitely stress. It might be pushing things a bit far, though
