Hot Potato Topic August #1

Hey Cooks
Its August and we're enjoying summer! I thank Conservative Connie for filling in and think we should continue on the encouragement track in light of the state of not just our country but the world. I wish there were not bad guys, no terrorists, no bad cops, no gangs, no racial disparity. Unfortunately my dreams are just that dreams...until everyone wants to be their personal best...well the world will continue to be what it is.
Okay here is this week's encouragement
The Chef
Energy of frustration 

Within every frustration is the power to move forward. After all, you could not
be frustrated if you did not also know for certain that things could indeed be
better.

The more frustrated you feel, the more you are ready, willing and able to move
beyond that frustration with positive and effective action. Though it may be
quite painful, frustration also is a powerful motivator.

Frustration has its positive, empowering elements as well as its negative,
dismaying ones. Remove the resentment and self pity from your frustration, and
what you have left is pure, positive energy. 

Remove the anger and the blame, and you uncover drive, ambition, persistence.
Not only can frustration spur you into action and keep you going, it can do so
in ways that enable you to clearly focus on what needs to be done.

When there is frustration, there is opportunity. Where there is frustration,
there is an underlying positive energy that's anxious to spring into action.
Don't let your frustration get the best of you or get you down. Instead,
know that it's positively compelling you to move forward, and make use of
the considerable energy that your frustration gives you to do just that.

-- Ralph Marston
