Everone has his own bad time.But when you are feeling sad,unhappy or frustrated,what would you usually do ?Just let it be or take some measures to overcome it ?Are you good at turning negatives into positives?
Sometimes most people don't know what they are supposed to do when they feel frustrated.For example,if you didn't perform well and failed in a contest,a competition and the
like,of course,you must feel very sad and frustrated,as a rusult ,you may lose heart, become less confident than before and even feel hopeless.
However,you really don't need to be like that.You must remember one thing in your mind that is "you are not a failure until you quit trying."You still have a number of chances to succeed.Also,don't consider one failure as the final one and even the end of the world.Just tell yourself it's not a big deal and believe yourself you can handle everying.Of course,you may say that thinking is easy,acting is difficult and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.Yeah, I think I compeletely agree with you,but just remember two more beliefs: God gives every bird its food,but he doesn't throw it into its nest,wherever you want to go,whatever you want to do ,it's turely up to you.And if you want it and dream about it,there nothing that's going to stop you.

When I encountered frustrations, sadness, disgusted, I usually pacify myself like: maybe my Creator has a plan for me in the future why these things are allowed to happen to me today...maybe I am trained to feel this way because I have to help others who will also encounter similar to my experiences.

It's always nice to take things easily, focus on good things in life and forget those frustrations we have.
I have tons of problem, mind you. But I always think that there's nothing I can do if I only worry much about it, so I might as well laugh while I still can!;) I know that such problems are meant for us, to solve and take as challenges in becoming a better person. It's always nice if we come with something out of nothing, make the best from it and turn waste into gold..
