When you feel discouraged We all feel challenges in our lives. These challenges can manifest themselves at work, at home, with our health, in our spiritual life. These challenges are often accompanied by discouragement. Discouragement can often happen when you survey the difficulties that lay before you. You can de-motivate yourself because of the gap between the reality of where you are and the vision of where you want to be. The first thing that usually happens when you find yourself in that place of challenge and discouragement is that you dont think clearly or rationally. You are often in such a frenzied or frustrated state that you loose all objectivity. This loss of objectivity causes the evaporation of clarity. Often you will not do what would be wise, you usually do the opposite, which is to run and hide. The second thing you do is to separate yourself from strengthening relationships. You create a distance between the outside world and yourself. Its like you go and hide in a cave hoping that things will change. Most people will tend to want to be alone, and that is the worst thing they can do. Dont get lost in self-pity. Self-pity can cause you to cultivate a victim mentality. It can say to you that you cant do any better. Self-pity will lie to you about everything. It will lie that your skills and abilities are not good enough even after your big victory. Self-pity is a pathetic emotion. It is an emotion that will drain your emotional tank rather than fill it. Self-pity wants to get into your mind and do major damage. MOTIVATE | ACTIVATE | CELEBRATE
