Energy of frustration

When you’re feeling frustration, you’re feeling a powerful energy. The problem is, that energy is pointed in a negative direction.

You can change that. You can direct the energy of frustration toward a positive purpose.

Frustration means you care, and that’s a good thing. In frustration is the strong desire to take action.

So go ahead, embrace the frustration, gather its energy, feel how much you care. Then, in that powerful, motivated state, think of one immediate step you can take in a positive direction.

Frustration wears you down if you resent it and fight it. Decide instead to experience it and transform it.

Frustration has great power, yet it doesn’t have to push against you. Harness the energy of frustration, and put it positively to work for you.

— Ralph Marston
