Jimmy inquires: Why are people so frustrated?
Maddy explains:
These days people are becoming more and more aspiring.
They do not draw a line.
Their needs are ever growing.
Everyone seems to be in a race to acquire more and more.
Wealth and poverty:
the one is the parent of luxury and indolence,
and the other of meanness and viciousness,
and both of discontent.
“Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more
than when we have nothing and want some.
We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things
than when we seem to lack but one thing.”
People want to earn and save more and more for the future.
They want to save more and more for their children.
But they forget," the more we shelter children from every disappointment,
the more devastating future disappointments will be.”
One must learn to be contented.
We should try to explain our inner mind and tell him," I have everything in the world that is necessary to happiness, good faith, good friends and all the work I can possibly do. I think God’s greatest blessing to the human race was when He sent man forth into the world to earn his bread by the sweat of his face. I believe in toil, in the dignity of labor, but I also believe in adequate compensation for that toil.”
Remember:
Tension is who you think you should be.
Relaxation is who you are.
Stress is when you wake up screaming
and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.
In case of a difficult situation,
Remember:
Things could be a lot worse,
the stress of the situation always could be worse,
but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for -
so I shall not waste my days with stress and frustrations -
Life is too short!
Take it as it comes.
