You know that feeling when you have the answer to something, to a problem, the solution to a puzzle or to anything in life really, but the power does not rest with you to make the decision - there is this frustration that builds up inside you. This wave of emotions that flow with it. It can bring you to tears and make you seem so irrational - and perhaps it makes you irrational. I can only speak from my own experiences.
I have been so frustrated in recent weeks and months, frustrated and powerless to change something, to fix and mend a relationship. Moments of feeling content for having the answer, knowing that I will always be wiser and better in knowing the answer to my problem. Then new information is obtained and new directions noted and noticed and that frustration swells up again, bringing with it the emotions. The whole cycle is very frustrating actually. I am sure you all have experienced that in your own lives? Parents often feel it with their children and the mistakes that the children make and are on the way to making - I sympathise with my poor mother. I get it now. That frustration. It is horrible. I recall now the mistakes that she warned me about, before I made them, yet in my stubbornness I refused to accept and it bit me in the ass.
What is there to do? When you teach and the pupil does not want to learn? Let that frustration eat you alive, or do you simply rest in the fact that you have done all that you can? All you can do is keep praying, keep looking up, dig deep and be brave and bold.
The trick is to never stop teaching. Never stop trying to teach, everyone and anyone who is willing to listen, always forgive the pupils who come back. If I remember correctly my mom always gave me comfort and told me she loved me - even if I made a mistake she tried to teach me about. That is the approach that I will take. Always love. Always keep teaching. Dont let the frustration get to you, rest in the fact that you have the knowledge, that you will change what needs to change and keep teaching. A true teacher, like a mother, never gives up on their children, and will teach the same lesson endlessly until it is understood.
My frustration, dear readers, will surely be there, but I will continue to teach. I will never let my frustrations stop me from teaching. From achieving. From getting the world that I desire and the lessons that come with it. Perhaps my lessons will help someone to achieve the world that they are looking for. All I can do is try.
Dont be frustrated people. Know what is in your control and what is not. Let go of what you have no control over and leave that to the universe. Keep learning. Keep teaching. Never let frustration become the reason you stop. In work, love, family or life. Never give up!
Strongs my readers!
Always!
