Why All The FRUSTRATIONS?
Yes Yes yow, Why All The FRUSTRATIONS? If each of us will 'inventorize' all our FRUSTRATIONS in life, I'm sure even if you burn the 'midnight oil', you'll NOT be done yet. I could volunteer BUT I'm afraid I need to pull out tons of sheets to list it down. BUT hey, HOW often have we heard 'THERE IS NO USE CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK'. WHEN it comes to stress and anxiety, many times we are our very own WORST enemy. We tend to grip on to events that we really need to let go of
We seem to have locked ourselves into a prison of hurt and YET we also hold the key to it. Furthermore, stress has been shown to be incredibly bad for NOT only your emotional and psychological health BUT equally important to your physical health. Through the years, I did bear witness to people I know first hand who have succumbed to serious medical conditions, mostly of which were traced to the enormous weight of FRUSTRATIONS in life they carried on their shoulders. And sadly, till their worst moments when they are clinging for life, most of them were unable to rise up and recover, no thanks to the pile up of compounded FRUSTRATIONS they seem to have gone through the years.
BUT here's a glimmer of hope for those so overwhelmed with FRUSTRATIONS. There is a short list WHICH we ourselves can rid of it, with little effort, if at all, to name a few:
WHEN YOU KNEW YOU WERE RIGHT - and no one believed in you. WHAT else can we do except to remind ourselves that everyone makes mistakes
YOUR UGLY BODY PART - BUT dude, NOBODY IS PERFECT, right? Even the supermodels are NEVER flawless at all. So, EMBRACE YOUR FLAWS
THE JOKE THAT WENT TOO FAR - And you were the butt of it. And you were red-faced. Think that most likely the person did NOT intend to take the joke too far
GETTING CUT WHILE DRIVING - Oh Oh Oh I'm a zillion times guilty of this. Driving through a traffic gridlock comparable to Bangkok, Mexico, Istanbul, Mumbai and Jakarta, I've spewed out expletives countless times BUT did it help me? NOT AT ALL. So, I had to change myself, telling myself this is the harsh reality
WHEN YOU WORKED FOR IT BUT SOMEONE ELSE GOT CREDITED - C'mon dude, give that away as a bonus gift. You will earn more credits along the way
NOT TAKING THE CHANCE - yes yes yes, it happens BUT if you missed the boat, so be it, pat yourself on the back that another chance will come
Our takeaway: Let's be true to ourselves. You can be scion of the rich and famous. OR your parents could be just struggling factory workers BUT that does NOT make you inferior as compared to that scion. Both of you will go through the gauntlet, with similar trials and eventually FRUSTRATIONS. WHO will end up with his neck still sticking out? WHOEVER is resilient enough to weather storms of FRUSTRATIONS. WHOEVER is less onion-skinned to the brickbats in life. WHOEVER is hardened enough to chug-chug-chug like that old locomotive train till it reaches the rail station. FRUSTRATIONs? Everyone has his own fair share. WHY feel so hopeless and hapless when you can easily turn things around by pulling the bull by its horn💥💥💥
