In our day-to-day lives, we get irritated very easily. Probably the present lifestyle is stressful that leads to frustration. Perhaps you can even get frustrated by the erratic behavior of the person driving the car ahead of you. You can even get frustrated by the frequent power cuts or the never-ending traffic jam in your city. What so ever may be the reason, don’t you think we get frustrated very easily? Every small thing can disturb our ‘precious’ peace of mind.

Are we really frustrated coz of a lack of opportunities, or is it because we have not accepted our own situation. The reasons may be huge or minuscule but what is more important is to overcome them and be frustration-free.
What is frustration?
Frustration is defined as the irritating feeling one feels due to the constant inability to achieve goals or progress in life.
Usually, you are frustrated when:
- you’re upset about things the way they are in life
- you get the feeling of being stuck in life
Frustration makes you mad and can lead to a foggy mind. You can’t make the right decision. Your day just slips through without producing much. It sucks energy and steals energy.

Most of the time we feel we are worthless and we start questioning our needs and basic convictions, values, beliefs, and perceptions.
Situations that are not in our hands stress us out. And constant stress leads to frustration. You are frustrated in life as you are not able to fulfill your dreams or miss out on an opportunity.
