Holidays in the rain, cars that won't start and PCs that constantly crash - according to a new study, these are just a few of the things that frustrate people most in the modern world.
Frustration may be a fact of life, but how can we manage it better?
That was the subject of a discussion on the popular BBC Breakfast TV programme recently, featuring Mal Fletcher and author Kathy Lette (watch below).
"Many of our frustrations are the result of unrealistic expectations," said Mal.
"If you spend all year dreaming of an annual holiday where the sun always shines, the kids never fight and everything is bliss, you will be inevitably disappointed. It's an unrealistic expectation."
"Sometimes, we forget that wherever we go we take ourselves with us. It's not necessarily the weather that needs to change, as much as our attitude. We need what my parents called and 'attitude of gratitude'."

In the UK in 2008, the Church does not seem to do well on broadcast media. Yet it has important things to say. I want to thank you Mal for your forward-looking approach to sorting this out. Alan, United Kingdom
I want to pray for you and your vision and activity of kingdom faith. I would also like to participate in your leadership conferences. ngouandji-israel, Congo (RC)
Mal, I just wanted to thank you for visiting Abundant Life and RN06. I am a psychiatrist in the NHS and agree very much with what you were saying about the secular services coming to us in 20 years for advice on how to do things. A group of us are starting a ministry to be ready to be asked! Rob, United Kingdom
