Result: your frustrations will increase bit by bit.
I don't think it's a good idea to grow frustrations, especially in these
"Personal Development for Smart People Forums".
What I wanted to say is this: be positive, happy and thankful for all the great things in your life and simply trust on the divine providence and remember these words:
Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

"Infinite patience provides immediate response."
A lot of us in the I-M "church", are looking to break the barriers of ego, and its the ego who wants the immediate gratification.
Who, outside of you, is saying that because we want better things for ourselves (speaking less material and more in the way of growth), we cant be happy, positive and thankful everyday?
Even the desire to relieve yourself of desire is one.
