When you are frustrated beyond measure, you are sure that frustration has to go away from you. No, dears, it is you who must unattach from frustration. You know I am not suggesting that you let frustration keep beating on you. I am saying the contrary.

You are speaking of frustration that gets the better of you, as if you have no say in the matter. What you can do, no matter how reluctantly, is to keep some distance between you and frustration. Frustration isn’t going to kill you. It is not out to ruin you.

For whatever reason, you have reached your limit. It is you who sets your limit.

Frustration comes from people and from things that get your goat. When the computer seems to have a mind of its own, the computer isn’t out to get you. It doesn’t have it in for you. In effect, the computer doesn’t know how to compute.

It is the same with people. They have a certain perspective different from yours. It is you who says you have come up against a stone wall. You have come up against something that takes you away from your purpose. Does your purpose have to be so thrown by disturbances in the world? When someone or something may seem to be blocking your way, what’s the first thing to do? Step around it, dear ones. You don’t have to meet frustration head on.

You may call these frustrations interferences. Don’t add insult to injury. Don’t let a frustration be your downfall. You don’t have to throw in the towel. Nor do you have to keep fighting. Get out in the fresh air. Take a walk. Ride your bicycle. Get off the frustration track you are on now. Switch.

Be more receptive to the big picture. You don’t have to be caught in the crossbows of frustration. Truly, you don’t have to be such an easy mark. It’s not for you to blame your headaches on anyone else or everyone else.

Whatever causes your frustration, it is you who rocks your boat. Must you get your dander up? For what purpose? In whose interest is it? Not yours. It must be for frustration’s sake then, for you pay dearly to enhance that which you didn’t want in the first place.

Beloveds, frustration exists, but where exactly? Somehow it has crossed your path. You have taken it on. You have adopted it. As much as frustration feels like an opponent, it is no more than a bunch of flies buzzing around you or mosquitoes chomping on you. Frustration is an idea. You are battling an idea.

If you feel that frustration is a punishment, then you are punishing yourself. Confess. Something or many things did not go right. They collected around you, and now you swat them. You blame them for your confronting them. Frustration is collateral damage, that’s all. It happens to be there.

Frustration does not belong to you. You do not own it. You do not have to make it yours. Frustration can get along without you very well. Frustration doesn’t need you to build it. It doesn’t need you to make it grow. You do not have to foster it. Frustration is not your back pack to take with you and grouse about how heavy it is. Make not frustration the content of your life. Do not embed your life.

I will tell you something else. Be glad you are alive and that you care and that you feel. Find that for which you are grateful. It is there. Be grateful in My Name that you are in a position to meet frustration and not have to take it with you.
