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'."

I appreciated reading about the great visionary, Martin Luther King Jnr, in Daily Recharge...I'm an avid follower of Recharge, finding it to be a healing and refreshing meditation. Kathy, United States
I am so thankful that I was directed towards Mal's article on Why Christian Minister's Fall. Thankyou, Mal, for such Godly insight & wisdom into how we should be reacting to such situations. Amity, Australia
Thanks Mal for helping us see the US gun laws issue from an ethical perspective. Our right to possess guns (or any other right, for that matter) is surely insignificant when compared to our responsibility to preserve life. Ann, Australia
