At the end of the day, you're responsible for yourself and your actions and that's all you can control. So rather than be frustrated with what you can't control, try to fix the things you can.

One of the hard lessons to learn in life is that there are some things you can control and some things you can't. If you want a short recipe for being frustrated and miserable, this is it: focus on things you can't control.

I struggle with control.

Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.

I'm just generally hugely frustrated, I'm a very, very frustrated man. I'm just a ball of pent-up frustration.

Needing to have things perfect is the surest way to immobilize yourself with frustration.

I can be plenty frustrated and not have to constantly portray myself as upset and angry at the world.

I don't get upset over things I can control, because if I can control them there's no sense in getting upset. And I don't get upset over things I can't control, because if I can't control them there's no sense in getting upset.

I figure there's no point in stressing about what's out of my control, and all I can do is make the best of what I've got.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.
