Continuing to run straight ahead into a brick wall is futile. Climb over it, under it, or around it. Just recognize when you are frustrated that you have a choice. When you re confused, know your values and purpose and make a choice based upon them. And fourth, keep your agreements.
All relationships exist out of agreements.
That means your relationships with others as well as your self. Not keeping our agreements creates feelings of guilt, embarrassment and obligation. If for some reason you cannot, clean it up immediately by acknowledging it, changing it or making other arrangements to do what you said you would. The trick with agreements is that some of them we are conscious of and some we are not. Not keeping our agreements inevitably takes us into feelings of fear and overwhelm.
