Anatomy of Frustration: Frustration can be a useful tool.
Frustration in life is not only inevitable, but also useful. However, what you chose to do or don't in moments of frustration is what will determine your ability to do that, which is necessary to achieve the expected end, or desired and your inability to produce your desired outcome. It is not what you go through that ultimately determine your outcome but how you respond to the events responsible for the frustration. Jack Canfield has formulated a formula that I think drives this point home and that is, Events + Response= Outcome (E+R=O). If you do not appreciate the outcome such as frustration in your life all you need to do is to change your response to the event until you get your anticipated outcome.

I love the formula E+R=O.
I believe this is a good one. To change the outcome, all we need to do is change our response. This reminds me of the children of Israel in the wilderness. Every outcome they had was directly related to their response to an event. Test + Pass Mark = Promotion.
Hey Dr. longest time and thanks for dropping by. You are absolutely correct. Isn't that the case with believers today? Rather than responding to God's word we respond to the circumstances and events of life. If we respond to God's word it is certain that our outcomes will be different compared to responding to events that are subject to change at any time. I like your formula Test+Pass Mark=Promotion. shalom
