To many times in our lives we give in to frustration. Life throws us a curve ball and we back up in the batter’s box or completely give up our entire at bat because we’re frustrated.
Frustration is a funny thing though, it stems out of confusion and misunderstanding, and can grow to be an insurmountable demon. But the best part is, it doesn’t have to.
Recently working on a project, I could see a growing frustration on faces and the general atmosphere just wasn’t right. When I spoke with both parties involved I could understand where the frustration came from. Within one conversation we had agreed that the frustration was due to a lack of communication and could easily be interpreted as a challenge.
Our world would be much better off if instead of getting frustrated with a problem, we look at it as a challenge. Challenges get you going, they’re the fire under your ass, they’re the reason why sports are so interesting and they could be your solution if you are feeling frustrated.
So what do you do when you’re feeling frustrated?
