Anatomy of Frustration: A 21st Century Malady
Here is what Anthony Robbins said, “People who fail to achieve their goals usually get stopped by frustration. They allow frustration to keep them from taking the necessary actions that would support them in achieving their desire. You get through this roadblock by ploughing through frustration, taking each setback as feedback you can learn from, and pushing ahead. I doubt you'll find many successful people who have not experienced this. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration.”

Anatomy of Frustration: Complexities
We are often overwhelmed by the complex situations of everyday life. These complex situations have the potency to disorient our focus, drain our spiritual and physical energies, which in the final analysis will incapacitate us in the pursuit of our purpose and destinies.
Complex situations are nothing but series of unresolved situation, or events intertwined and interconnected to form a myriad of things or events in our lives. It is just like a web that a spider creates; it begins by a single tread that eventually turned out to be many treads interwoven together to form a cobweb.
Unfortunately, if these complex situations are not resolved can create terrible frustration, anger and disappointments that will inevitably produce short and long-term consequences.
The notion and attitude that complex situations are impossible to resolve in itself is detrimental to your overall success in any endeavor. Therefore, to deal with a complex situation the first thing to do is to adjust and realign your attitude to your overall objective and definite purpose. That is what it is you want to achieve or your anticipated outcome. There will always be complex situations in your life be it personal or professional to think contrary will be naive.
The second thing to do is to seek to understand the complex situation. This you can do through research, evaluation and a mastermind alliance. The last but not the least is to get raid of that procrastinating propensity by taking immediate action to resolve any issue either personal or professional so as to avoid the accumulation of unresolved situations.

Anatomy of Frustration: Introduction
This blog is about this emotional disposition that we are all susceptible to and my main objective is to explore the anatomy of frustration and give some nuggets on how to transform frustration into opportunities and unlock the power to succeed.
Frustration is a phenomenon that we have to deal with on a daily basis. The burdens of work, family, unforeseen crises, unmet expectations combine to produce tangled loops of frustration in our lives. While there are certain things we can do to make life run more smoothly, we must understand that frustration is inevitable as we progress through life. Frustration is not only just an inevitable dilemma, but also useful in our life pursuits. However, what we chose to do or not to do in moments of frustration is what will determine our ability to take action on what is necessary for us to achieve our expectations or desires and our inability to produce our desired outcome.
Our initial reaction to frustration is to yield to it and its negative consequences without taking action in the direction of our anticipated outcome. We also resist or ignore it altogether, putting up a protective defense and confront it as an enemy with which we feel we must do battle. The yielding, resisting, partially or completely ignoring this emotion and others like it is negative and can produce only negative results, we will find ourselves producing more frustration, anxiety, stress and fear than opportunities and productivity.
