It's a question of time. If the threat is imminent, the closer it is to you, the more panicked you are. So when you're panicked, don't try to deal with the threat. Try to deal with time.

Delay the presentation that you have to give, or again, ask a colleague to come and help you so that you're two hands on deck, or simply cancel a few meetings and give yourself more time so that you're not panicked anymore. And now you can handle the threat in an easy way. Once you understand those things, I mean, unstressable is a very, very large pool of exercises and knowledge and so on.

But once you understand those basics, you end up again like happiness with a very interesting understanding that being stressed is a choice. While the external stressors are not within your control, most of them are, by the way, and your response to them, you get to decide. And in that case, then you can choose to be less stressed by actually taking the right steps.

Funny that I didn't discover it because I'm a very serious video gamer. I'm eSport level video gamer. Life is a video game. As a game, it will throw challenges at you because otherwise, who wants to start a game, push the controller forward and wait 70 years? When I used to game with Ali, being the strategic engineer that I am, I would start the game and run to the end of the level.

And Ali would put his controller down and go like, Papa, why? Why are you doing this? And I'm like, the end of the level is here. And he goes like, Yeah, but who wants to get to the end of the level? We're playing. When you get to the end of the level, you stop playing. And he would run to the parts where there is explosives and smoke. And I go like, but why, Ali? Like, why?

This is the most difficult part of the game. And he goes like, yeah, that's where all the fun is. He used to tell me, that's where you develop and grow. That's where you become a better video gamer. And actually, I only became what I am now after he left. So I tried to honor everything that he did. And one of them was I really started to get serious about gaming.

Life as a video game is an infinite game. It's not a finite game. You're not trying to win or get a certain score or finish the game. You have one objective only. which is to become the absolute best gamer you have the potential to become. And the only way you can do that is to play, literally to enjoy the hell out of the game and play. Live it all, play it all, enjoy it all. Wow.
