What does being stressed really mean?

[00:00:00]If you're really frustrated or sad or worried or depressed, or you think something horrible's happened, my favorite question I ask myself is what else could this mean? And I make myself come up with at least three different meanings cuz what happens is beliefs become self-fulfilling. See, once you believe something, you don't see anything else. I've done this with you already before. I said, "You look around the room and find brown." Everybody looks around and I say, "Now with your eyes closed, tell me who saw there was red." And nobody sees much red. I say, "Open your eyes, look for red." And they find more red. Why do they find more red? Cuz you get what you look for. Your beliefs condition you to find And then I say, "How many saw" I said, "You even saw things that weren't there. How many saw beige stuff called it brown just to feel successful?" They all laugh, you know. "How many saw burgundy called it red?" They all laugh. And the reason is because once we're after something, we'll even make the color different to feel successful. If you think somebody's mean, you'll find meanness in them that's not there. If you think somebody's your dear friend and they do something terrible, you'll say they're having a bad day. So, our beliefs control us. So, unquestioned beliefs that produce stress, those are the ones you've got to question.
