Do you ever have feelings of frustration?
I know I do. I hate the feeling like I have no control over a situation. I tend to like to control everything in my life. But the reality is you can’t control everything in life. Stuff happens and how you deal with it is what’s important.
In this blog I have included 7 quotes on Frustration. I hope they inspire you when you are feeling frustrated.
“Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.” ~Sumner Redstone
I believe this is a true statement. How many successful people failed time and time again. What made them a success is that they didn’t give up. They didn’t quit!
“You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.” ~ Ralph Marston
Turn a negative into a positive by re-framing it. Look at the positive side of the situation instead of the negative side.
“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” ~Kurt Vonnegut
I love this. I love to laugh. It’s so much more fun than crying.
“Things never go the way you expect them to. That’s both the joy and frustration in life. I’m finding as I get older that I don’t mind, though. It’s the surprises that tickle me the most, the things you don’t see coming.” ~ Michael Stuhlbarg
It’s the small wins that are important. The ones that you don’t expect, celebrate them and the bigger wins will come.
“Frustration, although quite painful at times, is a very positive and essential part of success.” ~Bo Bennett
Frustration is part of the learning and growth process.
“It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.” ~Lech Walesa
Just because you get frustrated doesn’t mean it’s time to quit. It means it’s time to try a different approach.
“I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.” ~ Tony Robbins
Frustrations are the foundation for success.
The quotes in this blog were taken from Brainy Quote.
In conclusion, if you are feeling frustrated remember that your frustrations are the building block for your success. Re-frame the negative into a positive. Don’t Quit, don’t give up, press on and use them to learn and grow.
