We all face it at one point or another. It can be over the smallest thing and if we’re not careful, we end up letting that little frustration control the rest of the day.

Have you ever gotten frustrated when you’re writing super neatly on a paper but all of a sudden you either smudge the paper or one letter in a word comes out crooked so it throws off everything? Yeah, that frustration makes you grab the paper, crumble it and start over again and now you’re frustrated because you can’t believe you’re fussing over something so small.

Now think about life, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of moments of frustration that you can’t even count them in your hands. Guess what? I don’t have a solution for you but all I have is a suggestion; BREATHE! Your attitude about any situation you are encountering right now is going to determine how you deal with these type of situations. If you continue to stay focused on how crappy things continue to go, your sight will be clouded and it will make it that much more difficult to overcome that situation.

Ultimately, I will always encourage you to go to God and pray. Pray for peace, for understanding, for clarity and just watch God move. Don’t believe me? Try it. Still don’t believe, well then, BREATHE. As you breathe, your mind clears up and you can focus once again. But when you pray and go to God, not only will you have that clarity that breathing can provide, but you learn to lean on God rather than yourself. As you lean on God and His strength you can learn to deal with similar situations better. Stay focused, keep going, and don’t let the frustrations control the outcome of your day.

Blessings!
