Is Frustration Destroying Your Success

May 28, 2010 by  

We all get frustrated every so often. People’s behaviour drives us to distraction, we get frustrated by our own laziness, we get hassled over things that we can’t control – like the weather or volcanic ash! But how about those of us who are trying our best to live a better life, or even change our lives, who get frustrated because nothing seems to be happening, we don’t seem to be making any progress?

Did you know that the guaranteed way of holding yourself back is wondering why you’re not going forward! Frustration is a waste of our precious attention and energy. Wondering why what we want to happen hasn’t happened yet is a useless, negative, self-defeating thought that is tantamount to saying to ourselves “well, I kinda knew that it wasn’t going to happen anyway!”

You and I have a finite amount of energy at our disposal and your personal development goal must be to marshal that energy and target it, like a laser beam, on getting on with the business of both living now and moving towards whatever it is that you want out of life. Frustration, worry or even wondering about when, how or if something will happen is a dangerous distraction, a self-destructive use of your energy – it’s like you’re targeting your powerful laser beam back on yourself! You’ve got to be so careful where you point that laser beam because it can be equally constructive or destructive.

However, if you’re normal, your laser beam isn’t powered up at all. Psychology informs us that the average person pays precious little attention to anything and invests a pathetic one percent of their energy in doing what they’re supposed to be doing. And if you’re not doing what you should be doing now, when are you going to start? The only place and time that you are is the here and now – the only time and place that you can focus your attention is now. Wishful thinking, daydreaming, wanting or needing are an utter waste of your energy because these distractions have nothing to do with the scientific reality that everything only exists here and now.

So, if you’re getting frustrated that you don’t seem to be making progress, it’s your own frustration itself that’s tying you down. If you feel that you’re stuck in a rut, it’s that very feeling that will perpetuate your discomfort. You’ve got to direct your attention to the urgency of living in the here and now. Now is the place and time that requires your attention – not some of it, like normal people, but as much of it as you can manage. The very input of an abnormal amount of energy into the present moment will trigger an abnormal response from energy in general. That’s how abnormally successful people are so successful – they put their energy into the present and, as a result, they have presence. This is what is required of you also.
