Discouragement - how to make use of it

08/15/2005

Discouragement is one of the most negative states human beings can experience, because it deprives them of most of their energy. You should know, however, that even in the worst moments, this discouragement contains elements which, if you know how to lay hold of them and use them, will help you to take heart again. Discouragement deprives you of your energies, but it is a state that contains formidable forces. The proof? That it is capable of demolishing an entire kingdom – yourself, along with all the riches and possibilities amassed in your body, heart, intellect, soul and spirit – shows it is really very powerful! Well then, why not try to seize this force and orient it in a positive direction? Strive to be conscious of all the possibilities within you. Even when you think you are completely exhausted and at the end of your tether, you still have tremendous resources which will help you to continue on your path.
