Frustration: A Blessing in Disguise

March 11, 2014

There was a time when I hated being frustrated. It sucked when life didn’t cooperate with me… especially when I put all of my effort and attention to do my best. It use to seem that the more I tried, the less life cared… and before I knew it, I would get lost in a vortex of negative thinking and hopelessness.

There wasn’t one area in my life that wasn’t tainted by frustration, but as uncomfortable as I was, I didn’t know any other way to be. I became so accustomed to feeling uncomfortable with my life that it became acceptable… until it became too unbearable.

What I have learned about frustration since then is frustration serves a more positive purpose for guiding you to your soul’s desires. So many of us live with the discomfort of frustration because we think it’s the only choice we have. If it weren’t for frustration, many of us would never understand what we truly want out of life. It isn’t until our frustrations become so uncomfortable that it forces most of us to start making changes.

Frustration has the ability to empower us to ask for what we really want out of life. My frustration empowered me to find what made me happy. It gave me the courage to live my life the way I have always wanted. My frustration created a new level of life I have never experienced before and even though it’s taken me almost 39 years to find true happiness, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I consider myself so blessed to be able to credit my frustration as the foundation of my transformation.

If you find yourself frustrated, don’t feed into helplessness or negative thoughts – allow your frustration to guide you towards a more satisfying life. Let your frustration speak to you in a way that will enable you to choose what your soul desires… allow your frustration to free you from limitations and unhappiness! Use your frustration as a compass that guides you towards satisfaction and peace. Enable your frustration to be your blessing in disguise!
