Listening

When frustrated with yourself or a situation, stop and listen.

Ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. What is the source of your Why?

Do this in a quiet, calm place and you will find that your actions while being frustrated are counterproductive to your cause.

If you take the time to listen, you can regroup and move forward with the ease you are looking for.
