Frustration

There are two things in life that we can never change; the past and other people/situation. Frustration is a sign of failure & every time that we fail in getting what we want our self-esteem & self-confidence are reduced. Frustration is a form of fear or anger, emotions that arise inside us, distract us & even blind us. The negative emotions makes one lose control & dictates one’s response. The expectations (disguised desires) generates a conflict, we feel victimized and blame others/situation for our unhappiness and loose our sense of well-being. Our negative perception, attitude & behavior to change, influence & control others/situation is responsible for the mental & emotional pain. Accept & embrace the ideal & the not-so-ideal, without conditions, to create an energetic shift. In times of struggle & hardships, channelize your anger, remain calm, explore and work harder to realise your dreams. Self appreciation of one’s positive traits develops faith & trust in one’s sincere efforts and boosts morale. Encouragement clubbed with compassionate genuine criticism aimed at mending approach to life and improvement does appeal to one’s ego and sense of worth.
