Without Frustration We Have No Potential
We all have some frustrations in life; the things that bring us our pain or our problems, our feelings of pressure or powerlessness. They can drag us down and submerge us. And they will, until we recognize them as the source of our inner strength, our creativity and our potential to make something of them.
When I look at people like Helen Keller and Christopher Reeves, I am astounded how the human spirit is able to overcome seemingly impossible disabilities and transform them into something quite amazing. Reeves, initially a mediocre actor with a good physique, was not really Superman, but a lucky break made him so. Then his accident brought a different kind of break and he emerged as a real live hero for all disabled people.
Through Inner Balancing, we show how to learn from and use our frustrations in a way that helps us to grow into the people we can really be. I know that we all have potential, because I have never met anyone who has no frustration.
So when you look at your frustration, don’t ask why you have it, or how can you make it go away. Ask what it means to you and what you can do with it. That way we can turn fear into courage, terror into hope, problems into opportunities. And war into peace.
In Peace and Love
Spreading Out
I am enjoying the journey. This summer I have had a great opportunity to just live and learn. The most important lesson one will ever learn it to never stop growing. There are a series of questions one must ask him self when learning how to branch out and take life by the horns.
- 1. What am I ready to do?
- 2. How can I accomplish this goal with the resources I have?
- 3. Am I afraid to ask for what I want?
- 4. How many shoulda, coulda, woulda’s am I going to recite before I actually do something about my life?
- 5. How much time have I already wasted?
Life is fleeting. You can not remember what happened to you 10 years ago ..because the intricate details of that time period is completely gone. The moments may have been captured by memory, pictures or reminiscing — but in essence they are gone.
Life changes at the drop of a dime. This summer, I have made a conscious effort to spread out. I created a Singles group on my college alumni page..and it has been very successful. It started off with just me…now there are 71 members and growing daily…. and within 3 weeks it has become the top rated club on the alumni forum. It is good to learn from others …it minimizes the mistakes you would potentially make in the future…well you could at lease have a heads up.
Spread out ….it can only help the growth within.
