I know what you might be thinking. What?! How can anyone be grateful for stress?! Well, I was thinking the same thing. What good can possibly come from stress and even extreme stress? 

Here is what came to me.

 The Law of Polarity and STRESS

Have you ever heard of the Law of Polarity? In case you haven’t, the Law of Polarity is basically the law of opposites. Everything has two poles. Think love vs. hate, good vs. evil, north vs. south, dark vs. light, death vs. life....
