Yup its a daily battle. Our flesh is naturally sinful but I always make it a point to overcome anything negative and end it with something positive. Each time after I overcome one thing, the next thing will come to challenge me, its exciting cos i know i am constantly growing in the Lord and enlarging my spirit man.The way to cure my frustration:
Seeking Him. Depending on Him. Focus on Him. Dying to my flesh.
Him= My Lord.
One lesson I learnt long ago is that I can't please everyone and I can't change everyone but I can definitely change myself: Opps that's 3 lessons rolled into 1.
My friends who used to call me Ms Perfectionist and Ms idealist are probably pleasantly shocked by my change. Not that this "seeking for the ideal and craving for the perfect" part of me has totally disappeared, it probably never will cos it's what makes me me...

However, it is no longer the catalyze for discontentment but it is now the fuel for all my dreams, visions and visualisation. It is no longer a hindrance to my peace when i find out that things are not perfect or ideal but it is the ignition of a passion to pursue better and better things.
It's just an acceptance that life may never be perfect but I can still constantly pursue and go closer to that ideal life. Things may not always turn out the way we want but we still need to plan and visualise what we want. Instead of looking at the imperfections of the world, I turn and look and work at myself. I look at the big picture on how things can be a win-win situation. I find out what positiveness can be drawn out of it. I look at the lessons instead of the mistakes, solutions instead of probs, what can be done instead of whats beyond our control.

This is a massive art that i am constantly but progressively mastering! :)
