Joy is one of the greatest tools for eliminating anger and frustration. If we're sad, then we have less patience and tolerance for everything and everybody. But let's say that today you won the lottery and someone steps on your toe. Feeling relaxed, confident and upbeat keeps frustration and anger in check. Imagine going out to buy a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
Life is like a jigsaw puzzle.
When you have a complex problem, first try to build the framework, an overall sense of how you want this to ultimately resolve. In everyday life, too, derive enjoyment from the resolution of frustrations. So many things only get accomplished through struggle. Whether childbirth or career advancement, we accept certain pains as a worthwhile price to pay for pleasure. In truth, the greater the challenge, the taller we can rise to meet it.
