We are living in very new and incredibly different
times. So, it is not that unlikely that frustration may
pop up in ones life now and again. When  "something" triggers our  sense of frustration, it is human nature to automatically feel "bummed" ... however, what may
actually be happening is we are being "twittered" on
shifts occurring around us.

One simple and effective option we have available to
deal with frustration is not to deal with it at all.
Acknowledge it, let it be, and move on! In some cases
this may not be an option, but more often than not, it
is. This is why I encourage you to really think about
the options you truly have when frustrations make a cameo
in your life.

Beating ones head against the wall squanders our
time and energy, and can be potentially harmful! Incessant
stabs to control the uncontrollable are futile. Hope can
be bottomed out, and daydreams are a doohickey not to be
counted on or abused. However, knowing what we
can change and what we cannot, and knowing when
to fence-sit empowers us to pursue and accomplish the
unthinkable. Non resistance opens us up us to conserve
energy when the evidence tells us there is simply
nothing else for us to do. Adopting a quiescent
presence provides us with the "serenity to accept the
things I cannot change" - at least at this moment.

We have little, if any, control over what other people
do. However, we do  get to choose the course of
action that we pursue. So it stands to reason that a
very viable and available option is to avoid futile
endeavors! And by gradually broadening our range of
talents, pursuits, and amplifying our pizzazz for life we just might indirectly influence others by example.  

You can spend many lifetimes trying to change the
world, or you can connect to the greatness within you
and change the world around you in an instant, simply
because you are here.  

Individuals who choose to pursue a course that perpetuates
 viable unravelings aren't immune to frustration.
However they have looked at "the" situation, felt the
discomfort, and moved on only to discover creative
answers.

Life is not meant to be lived in the dumps. So, the
next time you feel futility attempting to present itself or
play out; take a breath and consider the tapes playing
on and on in your head, then say "thanks for sharing,
but no thanks" and walk on by!

"My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set
the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and
rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and
go about business as usual"
