Try this TimBit<\/strong><\/p>\n Have you ever wanted to quit – anything? What is the cause of discouragement? Is it a sense of loss? Feeling out of control? Loss of faith in yourself or the future? Is it feeling that your present circumstances will never end? I can only tell you that this emotion – more than most other emotions – will drain your creativity, purpose, patience, appreciation and resolve.<\/p>\n I have known discouragement more often than I like to admit. I can also tell you that something within me pushed to try again, try harder or take just one more step into the future – knowing that, if I gave in to this debilitating feeling, I would lose control of my life. Discouragement is a signal that something is wrong, something in your life needs to change. You can pay attention to its warning signs and find another way to approach whatever is causing your pain or you can choose to whine, blame, complain and give in – it’s a choice each of us must make in life from time to time. How will you choose?<\/p>\n Question for the week:<\/p>\n Are you feeling discouraged? Why?<\/p>\n Recommended Reading:<\/p>\n
