Frustration is caused by expectations not being met and is experienced universally, from crying babies to investors waiting for profits. Accepting circumstances as they are rather than expecting more is the first step to reducing frustration. People are often frustrated by their expectations of God, love, and life outcomes. Freedom from frustration comes from releasing expectations and living in the present moment without attachments. Deep love is more likely to develop when people experience life freely without expectations of what love should provide. Reducing expectations through meditation allows one to rise above frustration and enjoy life.
Fun with frustrations
- 1. Fun with Frustrations April 21. 2010 The world lives in frustration, as particularly exemplified by the global chaos caused by the ʻEyjafjallajokull volcanoʼ in Iceland that is disrupting flights from and to Europe. From the crying baby to the investor waiting for profits as well as the one in love who is expecting a ʻreturnʼ on their love, itʼs guaranteed that nearly everyone on the planet is carrying frustration. Frustration for what they want, and making it more dangerous to their elusive ʻpeace of mindʼ by expecting too much. People reluctantly live with constant frustrations by attaching expectations that further complicate the uncomfortableness. Accepting the moment and what it brings is the beginning of moving beyond frustrations. There ʻainʼt no sunshine in the darkʼ, but seeking it within where the real light of life is always available. Find the source of your frustrations. It will always come to ʻexpectationsʼ. Frustration is everywhere. People who look for power, prestige, acceptance, results, and certainly, love. People are frustrated by their expectations, from prayer to a God that they expect will listen even though they have no idea what this God is or with certainty that there is one, and not something else more ʻbenevolentʼ that they have overlooked. Stepping out side of oneself, and saying ʻwho caresʼ, as well as letting go to be free of expectations of certain results, is an opening of a new breath of life. Freedom begins with being free of frustrations that come from expectations that have become like a bondage to the mind and heart. Make expectations like clouds in the sky that are at best, only moving through in the moment as sun shines through them when they are detached. Love, and itʼs many levels of meaning is a good opportunity to experience having less or no expectations which frequently create a tension not only within but with the object of that need of return love. Love really rolls in when there is no expectation, even if itʼs from within. The ʻgreatest, deepestʼ love, from my experience, will more likely just appear when one is carefree and experiencing deep positivity in life. It comes and stays forever even without the person who you met in that whirl pool of bliss and ecstasy. Keep self love filled and all gifts of itʼs essence will be within. Meditating clears away the clouds of self doubt while opening loves heart that rises above frustrations. Detach from seriousness and expectations to enjoy the fun of having frustrations float away! # Yesss Self Love Center # ArhataOsho.com
