Frustration is a Sign that your Mindset Needs Work
Every human being has desires, some small, others big. But the way to realize those desires is the same, no matter the size.
Your desire comes in the form of an idea or maybe a dream.
That dream might seem far away. But the way to live it is to think and act as if it is a reality. If you put your goal off in the distance, your vision will stay a dream indefinitely.
Different emotions can enter the mind and throw you off course; one familiar feeling is frustration.
Frustration happens when we don’t get what we want or don’t get it when we thought we should. You may get frustrated when the traffic isn’t moving, or the meeting is dragging on. The reason for frustration doesn’t matter.
I believe the purpose of frustration is a sign that we are not thinking correctly concerning our goals.
If you’re frustrated sitting in traffic, you want to be at your destination. Frustration in your business might stem from not having the financial success you desire.
If you were where you wanted to be, would you be frustrated? The answer is no. If your business were making the money you wanted, you would not be frustrated or grateful. You would be excited and eager to build off of that.
