Could you please share with me one of your favorite spiritual quotes on frustration?

I've got 2 -

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion . . . . I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy. by William Faulkner

I have simply stopped arguing with reality. How do I know the wind should blow? It's blowing. How do I know this is the highest order? It's happening. Arguing with 'what is' is like teaching a cat to bark. It's not very fulfilling. I am my friend and no longer confused. The way I know that reality is good is that when I argue the point I experience tension, fear and frustration. I lose - not sometimes, but 100% of the time. It just doesn't feel natural inside: no balance, no connection. I want reality to change? Hopeless. Let me change my thinking. Some of us mentally argue with 'what is.' Others of us attempt to control and change 'what is,' and then tell ourselves and others that we actually had something to do with any apparent change that took place. This leaves no connection or room for God in my life. In the peaceful experience of no opposition to God, I remain aware of my nature: clear, vibrant, a friend, a listener

Byron Katie

Mine isn't really spiritual, but it really helps me out when I get frustrated and angry. I don't even know who originally said this.

"Take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret. People change, and things go wrong, but just remember....life goes on."

It always serves to remind me that I can't spend all my time being worried, frustrated, or angry because life will keep moving while I'm stuck in my rut, and it will eventually pass me by. I'm a firm believer that life should be lived to the fullest it can be lived, and by continuing on with my anger and frustration I'm going against everything I believe in.

Psalm 34:19 (King James Version)

19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Buddha~ Dhammapada:

Long is the night to the sleepless,

long is the league to the weary.

Long is the worldly existence to fools

who know not the Sublime Truth.

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

"You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes, you might just find,

you get what you need"

The Rolling Stones
