When we don't get our way

Sometimes we are angry for one simple reason - things are not going our way.  

In these times I have learned, that it's best to just surrender and accept - take what you can (like in my last post, settling for the next best situation). 

When we do this we need to explore other things and learn more about ourselves. For those around us, there is a higher purpose. 

It’s hard when we don’t have our way. I STILL do get cranky at times because I don’t have my way in my own scenario. I just make the best of it, and keep going. I am so thankful for my friends, my income is tight and I am working on getting a different thing going.  

Having my friends helping each other out during these times is so important. It’s very humbling, and hard emotionally. It just makes a person even more thankful. 

We can focus on our self-care, we can be healthier for those around us, whatever way we can do it.  

We can focus on our passions, career, and bucket lists.  

Letting go of anger and frustration daily, and being grateful and positive in the end will help make it all easier. In the moments when we feel anger, discouraged, frustrated, grief, confusion, 

Mantras can be a good way to dissolve and save ourselves before we develop a root of anger in ourselves. Whether created by yourself, Biblical or whatever your religion is, or quotes as below, can help us to get out of the mind frame of it. 

It’s hard to surrender - it hurts at the time, but in the end, it's worth it.

1. “The moment of surrender is not when life is over, it’s when it begins.” – Marianne Williamson

2. “What is given to you is what is needed; what you want, requires giving up what you don’t need.” – George Alexiou

3. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. ~ Thomas Edison

4. The one thing you’ve gotta do is that you need to always do the best you can do, no matter what the given situation, no matter what comes up against you. You do the best you can do, and you never give up. Never quit. ~ James Corden

5. You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. ~ Maya Angelou
