• No matter how frustrated you may feel, there is always a way out. In every situation that arises, we choose to be powerful or powerless. It may not always feel like it, but it is a choice. And there are consequences for these choices in terms of the results we get, and the subsequent increase or decrease in our power and influence. If we choose powerlessness, it is often because we doubt there is any other option.

• If you haven’t already clearly defined your values, you may find yourself making choices that conflict with what you want. If, for example, honesty is a big thing for you, but you hang out with liars, there’s a conflict. When your actions conflict with your values, you’ll end up unhappy, frustrated, and despondent. In fact, psychologists tell us that nothing creates more stress than when our actions and behaviors aren’t congruent with our values.

• We are very frustrated because we have a Supreme Court that seems determined to say that the wealthier have more right to free speech than the rest of us.

• Sometimes I was too tired,
  other times just lazy. Now and then, I was frustrated because nothing seemed to be happening - no
  signs from God, no enlightenment, nothing. But that wasn't the point, the Shaykh explained. What
  mattered was the inner connection with God, which builds slowly and only transforms us gradually.
  Another obstacle, however, was that I often found it hard to concentrate during the dhikr.

And if you're a corporation who wants to satisfy his - their employees, how to do it is in this book.

• Therefore, it is we who are responsible for much of the evil in the world; and we are each morally required to accept rather than project that ponderous responsibility-lest we prefer instead to wallow in a perennial state of powerless, frustrated, furious, victimhood. For what one possesses the power to bring about, one has also the power to limit, Mitigate, counteract, or transmute.
