M5:D53 (D461) Motivation by Discouragement

When you embark on a mission you have great ideas and goals you want to accomplish.  You are certain that you are going to achieve everything you set out to accomplish.  For whatever reason, it is inevitable that you will hit a spot where you are discouraged with your progress or discouraged with your ability to hit your goals.  What you do with that discouragement will determine what happens next.  I am simply suggesting that you use the discouragement you feel to motivate yourself.

Really get in touch with how horrible discouragement feels and use that feeling to motivate yourself to accomplish your goals the next time.  Let the memory of the discouragement push you towards your latest goals.  When you feel like doing something that takes you off course, remind yourself of how the discouragement felt and how you never want to feel that way again.  It is a powerful feeling, discouragement is.  I personally hate the feeling and would never want to experience it willingly.  I use discouragement to remind myself that I need to work hard to accomplish my goals.  I am not trying to chase after my goals, I am trying to draw them to myself.  The feeling of discouragement as a reminder helps me to draw my goals in.
