I'm Frustrated

If you've been subscribed to my newsletter or been reading my blog for a while, you'll realized that I don't blog everyday although I wish I can. It's because there are many things going on in my business and personal life. Trying to find a good time to sit down and write from your heart doesn't happen everyday, for me that is.
Recently, I'm frustrated.
Many things that I wanted to happen did not go the way I've expected-- especially a few of my business projects. Not only that, my laptop was giving a big problem recently and it's been a pain in the rear trying to learn Microsoft Vista. Also, there are a million things that I need to approve and review to proceed because most of them are at a bottleneck.
You know the feeling- when it seems like everybody wants a piece of you?
Basically, I'm fighting against time to get tasks being completed and this is very frustrating because each time you finished one, then there will be more popping up.
I was at the verge of losing my patience so I took a break by watching a DVD. And the movie I watched was the Pursuit of Happyness starring Will Smith. It's a movie how a man pursues for his goal regardless of the obstacles in his life including being homeless. Great movie, touching story and it ends with a happy ending. By the way, this movie is inspired by a true story.

I believe, Chris Gardner, the character in the movie was able to overcome adversity and pain because he has a purpose that is bigger than himself – of making sure his son gets a better life. That is his inspiration and when your inspiration is about others, it's many times stronger.
After watching that, it hit me like a bullet train – my mind was not focus on the purpose of why I want to complete the tasks on hand. Whatever tasks we are doing – it's because WE WANT TO COMPLETE SOMETHING. If that is not true, then it's not a task. For instance, playing PlayStation 3 is not a task, it's leisure. So I'm trying to keep up with the work because I am keeping up with the work without a clear direction.
I called this 'purpose', the Success Outcome and it's covered in the You Chan Do It Success Outcome System that I've created. Yeah, that course is 100% totally free and I'll explain why at the webpage. If you go there by clicking here, you can signup instantly and there's also an option for you to upgrade to accelerate your success. That one requires a small investment but it's nothing compared to getting what you want in life quicker.
Anyway, by knowing your true purpose, all of your obstacles will be temporary. When you believe in what you can accomplish, everything else that are blocking you are just a test of time and some will called it, God's test. It’s not Time or God's denial but test of life we're going through.
Once I start to evaluate my frustration at a deeper level, I start to learn more about it. How we represent our obstacles is how they'll mean to us.
Anthony Robbins has taught a lot of analogies in life. On a separate note, I've post a video by Anthony Robbins for you to watch at
http://successandlife.com/articles/305/1/Anthony-Robbins-Video---The-Defining-Factor/Page1.html.
How do you see obstacles?
Are they an ongoing battle? If they are, I won't be surprise that you'll be in a 'war' all of the time. That's how I represent them earlier and create frustrations that's draining my energy everyday.
Are they a type of gamble? Then you'll be living in a fearful state because you can't afford to lose your stake.
Now, what if... obstacles are represented as games? So if you lose, what should you do? Just play again to win.
Or maybe surfing? Sometimes, there are big waves for you to ride and sometimes, there are just aren't and all you can do it WAIT. Wait = being patience.
My remedy for stress, frustrations and any negative emotions is this - know why you need to go through these feelings and evaluate them whether it's worth it. Then represent them with a positive analogy that will assure you that these are not permanent. It's easier said than done, but now, you know that you have the power to change and control your life.
You have other ways to overcome frustrations and other negative emotions? Share with me at the Comment below.
If you like what you read, it'll be cool if you can leave a Comment as well. I'll definitely appreciate it very much because I read every single Comment posted here personally.
