Frustrations II.

To play and never lose, cannot be.

As a proposal for healthy attitudes towards frustrations, it is important to first recognize that one cannot always achieve what one wants, which is an element of tolerance towards these situations.

- Adversities are a part of life.

- If you don't want to face adversities in life, don't be born.

- When going to fight, carry two bags: one for winning and one for losing.

- Playing and losing can certainly happen.

Every failure is temporary, after which new opportunities always arise.

- When one door closes, others open.

- God never closes a door without opening two.

Failure is an inevitable step on the path to success.

- What once felt like a hurricane, we now see as the wind opening new paths.

- By making mistakes, we get closer to success.

It is also a source of necessary experiences for achieving the maturity that life demands.

- He who doesn't fall doesn't get up.

- He who hasn't faced trials knows little. (Ecclesiasticus: 34,10)

- Even the worst things in life either have a solution or a lesson.

Given its inevitability, it is necessary to face it with strength.

- A fallen warrior is not a defeated warrior.

- If you fall seven times, get up eight.

- Falling is optional, getting up is mandatory.

- What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

To manage frustration, if circumstances allow, it is best to wait until the discomfort is not as intense and allows for clear thinking. Sometimes, it is helpful to mentally distance oneself from the situation and take some time to focus on other matters.

- Murky water does not reflect.

- Do not make decisions in moments of desolation.

- Do not answer a letter when you are hungry.

After reducing the levels of suffering, it is necessary to mentally organize, assuming one's own responsibilities related to the unmet goal.

- When I lose all my excuses is when I start to find my results.

- You can have results or excuses, but not both.

Evaluate if the goal is truly achievable with the available resources.

- An unreachable goal means failure from its very conception.

- Do not waste time trying what you have ample reason to believe cannot be achieved. (José Martí)

Examine the effectiveness and fairness of the methods and procedures used.

- With one egg, you will not break the rock.

- A gourd with a hole is useless as a drinking cup.

- Shouting does not kill a rabbit, even if aimed well.

Based on this analysis, make the necessary changes.

- Change the things that must be changed. (Latin phrase: Mutatis mutandis)

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

To face frustrations healthily, it is essential to accept that one cannot always achieve what one desires, to recognize that failures are temporary, and that new opportunities always arise. Additionally, it is important to consider failures as inevitable steps towards success and as sources of necessary experiences for achieving the maturity that life demands.

Since frustration is inevitable, it is crucial to face it with strength. To manage it adequately, if circumstances permit, it is recommended to wait until the discomfort decreases enough to think clearly. During this time, it can be useful to mentally distance oneself from the situation and focus on other matters. Once the suffering has been reduced, it is essential to take responsibility for the unmet goal, evaluate whether the objective is achievable with the available resources, examine the effectiveness of the methods used, and make the necessary changes based on this analysis.
