Frustration
With What Seems To Be?
Are
you upset with what seems to be happening in your life?
Do you want
something other than what you have?
Are you angry about
something or someone?
Do you wish
situations were different than they seem to be?
Are
relationship non-communicative or argumentative?

issues or physical limitations?

Anger
is a cover-up for fear, grief, pain, judgment, jealousy, and other negative
emotions.
Anger is an easy
expressive release of unused energy.
Anger, frustration,
irritation, impatience are all a build up of energy.
When angry for any
reason, ask, “What Can I Do?”
It
is easy to be frustrated, impatient, irritated and angry and is more difficult
to know what to do!
When we withhold
what we have to say, we may feel frustrated.
When we wait for
someone else to act, we may be upset when they don’t do what we want.
When we are afraid
to express or act, we may find ourselves holding back on our part.
When
we withhold our energy, it will build up and may result in acting out in
ineffective ways.
When we stop
ourselves from doing what is ours to do, we may build resentment and anger.
When we claim
impotence and make excuses for not expressing, we may feel guilty and blame others.
When step back to
avoid conflict or confrontation, we may create conflict and hurt ourselves.
We
need to see our emotions as a wakeup call inviting us to say or do something
different.
We need to claim the
right to express before a negative or toxic buildup occurs.
We need to write our
what we want to clarify what is accurate and most effective.
We need to put out
messages to ourselves and others about what we can do.
When
we know and feel what we can do, we stop complaining.
When we give
ourselves a list of productive action, we must begin with enthusiasm.
When we are love in
action, we feel useful and effective.
When we put our
energies to right use, we flow with what is next and next again.
Stifling
ourselves with unnecessary waiting or complaints or blame leads to unhealthy
resentment.
Opening our mind to
our own willingness to do what we can do, leads to happy creative solutions.
Living our life on
purpose is being willing to take full responsibility for the outcome.
Giving our energy to
be used for positive and purposeful outcomes will change our emotional state.
In
all circumstances of anger, irritation and frustration and impatience, ask what
you can do.
When you know
what you can do, just do it, immediately.
Use your energy for
right and holy purposes that benefit everyone.
If you see something
that needs to be done, it is yours to do.
Just
Do It and Be Happy Doing It!

Handling
Criticism
Every upset is
always a wakeup call.
All wakeup calls are
invitation to get on purpose.
Our purpose is to
live in integrity with our mission and principles.
When we are fully being true to our authentic self ,no one can upset
or hurt us.
Every criticism
is always about the critic.
We can listen and be
grateful for them telling their truth, their belief, their projection.
When we take it
personally, we are acknowledging that we have some guilt.
When we are offended, we are confessing that we are not wholly on purpose
and at peace.
When my buttons
are pushed ( when I have a reaction) to what has been said, it is mine to heal.
When I am hurt or
offended, I need to stop and listen to how I can respond to myself with love.
When I am defensive,
attacking, upset, I need to take stock of what is the truth for me.
Always I can be aware that the critic is talking about their own need and I
can forgive them.
When we hear a
criticism or what we judge to be an attack, we can best forgive it all.
When we feel
attacked or criticized personally, we can simply apology for the upset.
When we listen
within for how best to respond, we can hear what is really needed.
The critic is always describing themselves and expressing their own need to
heal.
What we give to
another is given to ourselves.
When we offer
forgiveness and healing to a brother, we are offering healing to ourselves.
There is no harm in
doing no harm.
There is continuing upset when we try to be right.
Where we have
guilt, we will be vulnerable.
When we are not true
to ourselves, we can be hurt.
When we have blamed
another, we will fear being blamed.
When we are afraid of someone or something, we have not yet forgiven.
All upsetting
experiences are lessons, reminders or wakeup calls.
All difficulties are
challenges which we can learn from.
All seeming offenses
are opportunities to realign our principles and purpose.
In our defenselessness, our safety lies.
When we have
nothing to hide with no secrets and no fears of being judged, criticism is a
call for help.
When we are free
from judging, blaming and making anyone wrong, we respond always with kindness.
When we are willing
to give what we want to receive, we respond with respectful listening and love.
When we are open to giving what will bring peace and harmony to all, we
forgive and love again.
And so it is, we
learn and expand our capacity for Loving Kindness,
