Are you contented on your own performance?

We all have our own activities everyday and we have tasks at home, at work and every where we go. Even in the web where we go online, we all have tasks to accomplish.
The big question is: Are you contented on how you do your tasks or works? When you feel you have not made enough, what do you do? Do you get frustrated when you get to this point?

Hi,
I often feel like I have not done enough today, or at least I could do somewhat better. But it is this dissatisfaction that drives me, and motivates me. I don't get frustrated at all. I rather identify this thought as a sign of improvement. I rather plan my "tomorrow" and with stronger determination, I go to sleep in peace. Remarkably indeed, I almost always, find my energy renewed in the next morning. Its the positive energy and thoughts that maneuvers us through the whole day. Then, why beat it with frustration?
God bless you

I just do the best I can with what I have to do. I do get frustrated at times when there is not enough time in the day but I set priorities and the things that really really need getting done do get done. I just do the best i can and try not to kick myself too hard because that does no good either. When I start to get frustrated, I kick back and realize I haven't done all that bad. My daughter is well dressed and well fed and not going without anything she needs. We have a roof over our head, electricity. We are warm. We even have some extras like cable and phone and internet. I have a job which is more than some people have. I may get momentarily frustrated but in all seriousness, I have so much to be grateful for. It could be so so much worse.

Priorities of work are very important. I myself do works that are easy to be done so that at lest I have done something at the end of the day.
You're a very lucky man to provide the things you have for your family. Not everyone are fortunate enough to have those things. You really have to be grateful of what you have now.

I often feel frustrated with myself because I have perfectionist tendencies and sometimes I can be my own worst enemy! Attempting to do everything precisely can be paralysing because it is impossible to achieve everything without fault. On the whole though if I look at it the way I have taught my daughter, and that is that the end result does not matter as much as your own knowledge that you gave it your all and that you tried one hundred percent, I feel that I can be free from over achieving in order to obtain a sense of worth.

I believe that we should be able to be very happy in what were doing for us to be contented to the outcome of our decisions. It's natural for us to get disappointed and get discourage because we have been given it out all out. The key is how we convert it to be more productive...

My clients at school are my students. I make sure they learn from what I teach them so that i get myself contented that my teaching technique is effective. in my sideline job as a mobile technician, I make sure that there would no backjobs but there are several still. Making sure that our customers get good service makes me contented enough.

All i have to say is, dun be too greedy or over ambitious.. haha =D It's good to aim high in whatever we do, but make sure it's within our own capabilities.. IF not, we will only be giving ourself unnecessarily stress to perform to expectations?? haha =D
All i ask for, is to finish off my daily activities, and nothing more.. Though much as i wanna peace, there are always bound to have disruption and disturbance, thusing some delays.. But no matter what, i will still to sure to finish what i have to, within the few hours i have.. hehe

We only have 24 hours a day and you are lucky if you could use all of it in jobs. But we are living in reality where we have to rest for the day so we have time for sleep to and not all for jobs. We just have to use our time wisely to accomplish more tasks.
Capabilities vary in every individual too, so we just have to accept what we could do in any task given to us. Give it your best and hope for the best output to come out.

basqui yes as I am retired and do not stress anything. If I tell my self I am going to do x amount of mylotting, and something comes up where I must do other things, I do not get bent out of shape anymore. With older years for some of us comes way to not let stress bug you. I have my pretend antistress bubble I throw around me, its invisible but it will not let stress in at all. this is a tactic taught to me by a diabetes nurse educator . this really does work. Its just a self trick to keep you from letting stress shoot up your blood sugar. we control out emotions and we have better control of our blood sugar levels. So yes I am contented with my own performance as it is mine and only I need to evaluate it.

Everyone of course would like to make more money. The main thing is learning to manage what u do make. So many people never learn to do that.

The time that I spend making money online is nothing more than a bonus for me, so I don't ever find myself upset with what I am making online. The only time that I have actually been upset with my performance concerning my online earnings is those times that I really want to make a monthly payout and I manage to miss it by just a few cents. It is very frustrating at first to find yourself in that kind of a situation, but it quickly makes you have a desire to work harder in the long run.

as long as i did my best for the work or task ive been then im already contented with it as it means that thats only my capacity, though i know i can do better if i want too. i guess its more better if we will just accept everything than think about it that will only give us frustration.

I am a very contented person in life as well as at work. Just the other day I was telling my hubby that even If I have to die today Iould not have any regrets except one and that would be leaving my hubby alone in this world.
With respect to work I never really care because if there is anything left I can do it the next day.

Living in a world which functions upside down, it sometimes seems that whatever we do is not getting good results which leave us frustrated. Human expectation can never really be fully satisfied. All I do is to do to the best of my abilities and if it doesn't bring the desired result I am contented as I have done my best. I don't yearn for perfection all the time as it will only leave me frustrated if the result is opposite.

I'm really not contented most of the times so I easily get distracted and end up not satisfied in everything. As far as I can remember there are only a few moments that I had a feeling that I'm satisfied and that is when I do things with other people. I'm trying to achieve a big goal right now but I keep getting distracted and out of focused. I don't gt frustrated I feel ashamed about what I failed to do because I know the facts that I need to avoid but I still can't avoid it and it lead me again to failure and dissatisfaction or no contentment

That would be so kind of you, as I don't recommend myself. 
Hi Basqui,
I am a woman!
