Are you frustrated? Great! Frustration will give you energy to change your life for the better. Achievement comes from people who are frustrated, not from those who are content.
Many people must first "hit bottom" before they have enough desire and motivation to change their lives. The more dissatisfied you are, the more energy you have to make things better.
Frustration is your way of telling yourself that you want things to change. Use the energy of your frustration to get excited. Take action. don't let it get you down. Change it into a positive influence. Do something about it.
You're frustrated because you know things can be better, and you're ready to make them better.
YOUR GOALS, MINUS YOUR DOUBTS, EQUAL YOUR REALITY.
A present study tested the frustration/aggression hypothesis which states that any negative stimulus such as frustration will result in some measurable tendency to aggress.
How it works:
We feel frustration when our goals and purposes are interfered with.
Enough frustration can trigger enough hurt so that we experience anger. (This is energy which can be used for motivation.)
We tend to feel anger when we are hurt and focus on what is being done to us instead of what we can do about that situation. When we focus on what other people are doing to us instead of how we are going to make it better.
When we are frustrated or angry, and when we begin to pay attention to what we can do to make things better, we can become determined. Sometimes incredibly determined. Frustration and anger give us energy which can be used as motivation.
Motivation from frustration/anger plus what we can do to make improvement can lead to determination.
When we are determined, the universe seems to come to our aid, and other persons often willingly co-operate with us.
Turn your frustration and pain into determination, becoming incredibly determined to live wonderfully well.
