frustrations

I talk to others about remaining positive and having positive self talk. I think it is harder to do it to my self. Today, I call people for my business and have to leave messages. I go on line to chat and no one is there. I feel like the day has not been productive except I am mailing out warm letters ( I am a life coach) to people I don't know hoping I will get a lead. It is really frustrating. I use to work full time and would always return my messages and respond to chats. I wonder about people that don't answer their messages. You wonder if it is you, but then you have to say, they don't even know me, so how can it be. I have to start pulling out my self affirmations and give my self positive talks and remind myself that is takes time to build a business and I just started. I am also an empty nester and my kids don't call as often as I would like them too and that is also frustrating. Frustrating means that people aren't responding as I would like them too and I have to remember that it is not about me but about the people I am contatcting. They are working full time, are busy, I am not. I want things down and to happen like "yesterday" and I need to learn that people don't move that fast. It is easy to know that when you are on the working end of things but when I am the one doing the networking, it gets frustrating. So I play a game on my computer, or read for fun, or play suduko to help my mind stay active. It also helps me think and decide what I need to do to fix the situation. Am I doing all I can do to get the results I want. The answer is usually no. I am resisting and I know it so how can I expect others who are not resisting but working to fix the situation.
We need to remember that in todays world. To be self reliant and independent, we need to be part of the solution, take our own inventory and then proceed accordingly. This new life (of working part time) takes getting use to. I went from working 3 jobs and not being home to none and then working part time and being home when my kids are now gone. Go Figure. Life works in crazy ways. Susan
