the frustrating life of a non-omnipotent being

I wonder if anyone else struggles with the frustration of not being able to do everything and know everything all the time at the right time. My phrase for the day has been "Lisa, you can only do what you can do, deal with it." In some ways this is freeing because it releases me from my unrealistic expectations of myself, but at the same time, it frustrates me because I can't know and do everything I want to do or everything I think needs to be done. I guess I'm left with "deal with it." (originally posted September 19, 2005)
