Quote #1112 - #FrustrationFocus
04 Dec, 2023
FRUSTRATION FOCUS
"To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles."
T.F. Hodge
FROM WITHIN I RISE
"And I got out of there without punching anyone, kicking anyone, or breaking down in tears. Some days the small victories are all you achieve."
Molly Ringle
RELATIVELY HONEST
"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
Sometimes the laughter comes first, sometimes
the tears,
but I usually need both
to truly work through
the deep frustrations, let it all out so it doesn't
live in my body.
But first ...
Focus on what needs to be accomplished,
get through it as effectively as possible,
try to manage all the competing needs and desires,
so that the best possible outcome is, indeed,
possible.
And then ...
when this is done
when this is finally over and done,
I will cry and laugh
and laugh and cry about it all again.
