Best definition I ever heard: "Stress is the confusion created when one's mind must overcome the body's desire to choke the living shit out of some asshole that desperately needs it." Anyone else got a definition?

Having said that, stress can also be the gravitational assist, allowing you to gain speed & redirect your path towards a desired destination.
