When you get frustrated by someone around you...

When you find yourself getting frustrated by someone around you...

Do not just give in to that feeling of frustration and express that, but instead, you could do these:

1. first, check why you are so frustrated? what exactly is the real reason? --then, you will find the problem is that you are being frustrated anyway, and whoever around you do whatever is not the primary reason of your frustration

so, deal with your cause of frustration --in general, it is usually because you are not doing things which your conscience rejoyces and gets inspired and excited --> so it's your problem, and then you can start doing things which your conscience can rejoyce --> then, people around you even change what they do because of you (anyway, you will become happier and they will also become happier)

2. or, you could ask yourself, "Is this not the feeling I might be giving to God?", seeking for the possibility of whether you are not making God frustrated for any reason at this point --then, you will find that this situation is fortunately given to you so that you can realize what you are doing to God and make any necessary repentance and correction, for which you can thank God, and grow into the next level of relationship with him

Let's go back to basics

The task is like a huge mountain before you
but to do this, let's go back to basics

You need other people, too, but one thing about other people is
that you cannot control them
just as true as that nobody can control you

so, you cannot make their choices on behalf of other people
just as true as that you cannot expect others to make your choice on your behalf

So, all you can do, or, first thing you should make sure is
that you make your own choice instead of expecting someone else to do that part

"that part" particularly means:

1. You choose to have only God as your center, and nothing else (not any human including yourself)

2. You choose to communicate with him; reporting to him and receiving response from him (through your conscience)

3. You choose to live according to his words (or what you recognize is the universal truth, such as everything exist for others, you should not cheat/lie, do not blame others to justify yourself, etc.)

4. that also means you choose not to live according to whatever is against his words (or whatever you recognize is against the universal truth, such as existing for your own benefit, cheating/lying, justifying yourself by blaming someone, etc.)

5. You choose to always reflect and check with your conscience whether your thoughts and actions are according to God's word, and then make any necessary corrections

6. As long as you totally invest yourself into these directions, you will start to see the next step, as well as "God's hands" in your daily life

7. Through this, you may develop your own understanding of how God can work in your life, but just make sure not to insist on it, and always be humble to accept God's unique way of work in different people and different ways

So, in a way, instead of lamenting about what you cannot control, first do things which nobody else can do except you!

Question: Why can't I experience God?

Well, what kind of God do you expect to experience?

If you want to experience God of love, then it's simple

For anything in this universe to have a meaningful interaction, they need some common base
If you want to have a good interaction with God of love, then first try to make some common base with him --try to become loving, or, giving-- as a first step

Then the next step will be, try to communicate based on your first step

Then you will find communication will go different from when you try to communicate without enough common base (or with a lot of uncommon elements of "not giving")

Then, after that, let's think about the next step...

Oh, of course, don't forget to say "Thank you, God!" in each step of the way
