Ever wondered why we get frustrated? What is frustration? The dictionary says:
1) something that frustrates, as an unresolved problem.
2) a feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or depression, resulting from
unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.
When one thinks of frustration, it's easy to see that these definitions are true of the worlds outlook and understanding. I invite you to ponder as I have of the comments of a general authority. I can't remmeber who or what conference but it was used in a talk given in the Spring Meadows ward in Payson, UT. He said, "frustration is a result of others not meeting or living upto our pre-set expectations." If you think of this statement with a spirit of humility, you as I, know this to be true. Frustrated is something that we choose to be. However, it is one of the things that we should strive never to be. All too often, the ones with whom we are frustrated, are the ones that we love the most ie; spouse, childeren, brothers, sisters, parents, ect. We must make a choice where we want our priorities to be. By making that choice, we take that first crucial step towards eliminating frustration, malice, anxiety, and any other ill feelings from our lives. Choose love!

Yes this is most true. However, I am yet but a sinner and get frustrated at the small things in life. I strive like so many to be that perfect something but not always am I successful. Good luck with your stiving :)

you know, i just opened my fortune cookie and it said: Look for happiness and you will find it.
I've always heard the saying about looking for and finding bad things, but i never thought about it in reverse. :) Cool...
