DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION COSTS YOU MONEY

Are you frustrated with being frustrated? Does looking at your level in your business and its growth overwhelm you? Do you feel stuck at a point in your life where you feel you are not achieving the amount of success that you thought that you would? Do you think you lack the knowledge to help you deal with frustrating circumstances? Well, there is hope for you yet. Although there are things that get you off course, or seem to force you to use precious time dealing with them, I want to help you prevent one of the most draining and debilitating activities from costing you money and that is “being frustrated.”

Do you know what people who do not achieve their goals or rarely do so have in common? Well, I will tell you it is they spend a lot of their God given time being frustrated. I know you may be wondering why someone would knowingly put themselves in such a heart breaking situation. The reason why they would put themselves in such a predicament is they have not learned to identify what they are feeling or experiencing which does not allow them to possibly change. What I mean by that is these individuals have not identified the source of their frustration therefore, making it impossible to address it. Although there are some who might say that because life just happens and life is unavoidable then frustration is also part of life. This is so far from the truth. The truth is we cannot stop life from happening but we can definitely change how we respond to it.

Why So Frustrated?

Have you ever been in a room full of go-getters, successful individuals or the like? Well, one thing I can tell you that they have in common is that they speak a totally different language than everyone else and they process life differently too. When I look at these individuals it seems as if they are never frustrated. My belief is that frustration is an emotion that they are capable of having but because of their will and determination to command control over their lives they NEVER allow this emotion to manifest. How can someone do that you are wondering? You see these individuals simply create their environments and do not let their environments create them. These are individuals who realize that they have power in what they say and what they do. Because they realize this power within themselves these individuals do not view complicated circumstances as problems but instead they look at them as opportunities. These individuals are not your complainers, they are your problem solvers and they realize that frustration is a by-product of complaining therefore they do not indulge. They feel that this activity is pointless, unproductive and will not serve them well in any way. Then why is it that so many others experience this crazy emotion?

Always See the Solution vs the Circumstance

Frustration is seemingly a small emotion yet it can cause a horrific amount of problems for someone if they let it. Frustration can cause the most well-meaning individual to quit, throw in the towel and be productivity paralyzed. As much as you may think that there is no way around being frustrated, this is absolutely wrong. You do not have to deal with frustration. You can stop dealing with it right now. You can be productive, positive and not frustrated and move forward in victory.

The first thing that you must do is to learn to identify what causes your frustration. You have to do so because this is the only thing that is keeping you from being frustrated. Once you identify what the cause is it will open your eyes to this uselessness in your life and you can then address it and overcome it. Nothing good has ever come out of being frustrated.

Let’s Address the Issues

Let’s find out what frustration is first and foremost. My definition of frustration is the gap between your thought of You in Your perfect world versus your thought of you in your present world. An example of that is if you see yourself as a millionaire but you are currently a thousand-aire the gap is big which means so is your level of frustration.

The problem with this thought process is people usually see themselves or perceive themselves less than where they actually are. We tend to be much harder on judging ourselves which creates a much distorted view of our actual circumstances. Because we harshly judge ourselves it makes it difficult for us to see the truth. If you think about the difference between someone that is earning $10,000 -$20,000 a year versus someone who is earning $100,000 or a million a year it is just a few minor adjustments in their lives and the gap really is not so huge. With a few adjustments you can actually go from bottom to top fairly quickly if you know what to implement (purpose) and where you are going (direction).

The only adjustment that needs to be made is to identify the differences between the person at the top and you. Upon learning those differences you have just identified your frustration. Those differences could be having a website, being on the noon calls, bringing people to the noon calls, a capture pages, a good website presence, etc. Now all you need to do is take the checklist of items to incorporate in your business and begin implementing them one by one. Maybe focus one week at a time on that blog, recruiting, training, creating a video or whatever you have been wanting to do. But the bottom line is to identify what the person at the top has or has done that you believe that you currently do not have or have not done and then begin to address integrating those things into your business one by one.

This is a very important exercise because I have learned that if there is a rank or a level that I am trying to get in this industry the best way to find out how to achieve it is to ask someone who has achieved what I want and begin to duplicate those efforts. If I wanted to lose 100 lbs, I would ask someone who has lost 100 lbs what they did to do so and begin to use their diet and exercise plan. But what I would do is do what they did to get the results that they received.

Remember this, your frustration comes from seeing those at the top and expecting to have the same when you haven’t done what they have done to get there. There is a well-known pastor by the name of Benny Hinn and he is known for his healing ministry around the globe. A congregant commented on the blessings that Benny Hinn has received and one of Benny Hinn’s ministers said if you were willing gave to the kingdom what Benny Hinn has given then you would receive the same blessing as he.

Frustration is solely in the past you cannot be productive in the past because it is gone. You cannot say I really need to make money and be frustrated and expect money to appear. Frustration is the antithesis of productivity. So what you need to do is identify the source of your frustration, and ask yourself how I can lesson the frustration gap. Pull out that pen and pad and develop a list of things that the successful you would have that the current unsuccessful you does not. Write those things down and begin addressing them and you will close the gap. You will begin to lesson that frustration and begin to see yourself in a better light and feel better too.

Video: Dealing with Frustration is Dumb AND is Costing You Money!

So today, you cannot change all the time you have wasted dealing with frustration in the past, but you can stop “being” frustrated now. Identify the source of the frustration using the concept in the above video and CHOOSE to focus on the solutions to your issues. The better you get at mastering your emotions, your “feelings” your “challenges”, and your “frustrations” the more success you will attract. This skill is called “Self Mastery” and when you have mastered self – you begin to have victory.
