Moving Past Frustration

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Moving Past Frustration


When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?  


I used to be that way. Something changed.


I learned long ago that getting blocked would be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations - or find a better way. It came down to this:


1) Blocks have nothing to do with who I am. They could be self-inflicted or caused by others, but they still have nothing to do with me. 


2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always… always… always. You may not like the path. Your ego may get in the way. It may scare you. There is always a way.


The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want. Find it.
