DON'T MAKE THE NEXT MOVE IF YOU'RE FRUSTRATED

37 year-old Okoye Kelvin was recently arrested  by National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA at  the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos while trying to smuggle 10.27kg cannabis to Doha, capital of Qatar. He said: "I was frustrated. When you are frustrated, you can do anything. I took a risk, but I was not lucky. Life is about taking risk. It is either you win or you lose. I have worked and suffered as a casual labourer in Doha for two years and I was desperate to change my status."
 
Frustration is simply a product of living without a vision. I've seen a number of people on the verge of making decisions that were completely irrational because they have been severely battered by frustration. The truth about such decisions is that they make one get plunged into tougher situations that may leave them with an option of suicide. Kelvin got frustrated and wanted a quick fix but never knew that quick fixes don't deliver a haven for the battered. No matter the severity of your frustration you can come out of it with the tips below:

  • Find Vision: The moment you lose your life's vision you're on your way to being frustrated. Your vision isn't your ambition. Leave ambition and pursue vision. God's the custodian of your vision so you need to talk to Him about it.
  • Feed yourself with God's word: When you are word-empty you physically begin to feel a vacuum. God's word has got guarantee to give health to your countenance.
  • Seek Godly counsel. Avoid telling anyone you meet about your challenge rather meet only those that will speak the will of God concerning your situation.
  • Stay around positive people: Your company definitely affects your thoughts. Positive people will help spark a strength inside your that will cause you to take steps in the right direction.
  • Stop doing what you've been doing in order to have a rethink. If what you've been doing have not yielded result then it really pays to have a rethink. You may discover that you've been doing thinks the wrong way.
  • Develop a spirit of persistence. Success isn't cheap and any true success must be persistence tested. This is why people generally go for quick fixes because they are too impatient to persist.
