Fallen angels at my feet
...Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes--lying next to me I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin.
Forsaking all I've fallen for...
I rise to meet the end*

“Unburden Yourself”

May 2, 2006

Many of the little things that cause you continuing frustration can be greatly reduced or eliminated. 

The small frustrations are usually the easiest to get rid of.  Because they are small, though, you may not have made it a priority to deal with them.

Remember, however, that the small frustrations add up quickly.  When combined together, they can impose a major burden on our time and life.

So make the choice to unburden yourself from them, one by one.  Devote some time ridding yourself of many of those little frustrations that can add together to drag you down.

At first glance, it may seem like a waste to spend an hour or two dealing with something that normally sets you back only a few minutes each day.  Yet if you can save yourself those few minutes, day after day, month after month, it can add up to an enormous amount of time.

And by freeing yourself from more and more small frustrations, you free your mind and your spirit focus on the positive, meaningful things.  Find ways to unburden yourself from little frustrations, and you’ll find opportunities to add greatly to the richness of life.

- Ralph Marston

This is exactly the reason why I always deal with the small ones first before getting into the big ones.

..Or what I'd rather call Methodological Problem-Solving. Divide and conquer, such is the Art of War.

[2] Speaking of "The Art of War", one of my officemates didn't believe that the principles behind the art is applicable in our current lives, since I, too, also quoted something out of the book. I just looked at him and smiled knowingly. ;P
