I woke up today with a spring in my step. Not that I don't do that always. Today was just different. I had a knowing within that things were working for my good. As we go through the adventure called life we need to fight discouragements always. Many things seek to discourage the journey of life but an attitude of joy, a mentality of an overcomer, a desire to learn as you walk through the adventure called life and maintaining relationships that are positive will help empower one to go over.
This acronym was the thought I woke up with us I thought about the bible reading adventure. Another way of looking at DISCOURAGEMENT when the task seems impossible.
D-Discoveries: new positive discoveries in life will produce a lift in life. Just imagine how the Wright brothers felt when they discovered they could fly.
I-Inspiration: What inspires you? When facing discouragement listen to someone who inspires you. Listen to uplifting music or words.
S-Stillness: Be still and know that God is in control. This is one of the hardest things to do in a world that is simply fast paced. Finding time to be still in life will help keep you focused in the midst of turmoil.
C-Courage: Great people are courageous in all their undertakings.
O-Observant: Successful people are willing to pay attention to the facts of life that bring about success. Success is not by chance. Observe what causes you failure or discouragement and begin again. Observant people are willing to learn the lessons. Learn from the experience of others as this will help quicken your journey of life.
U-Understanding: What you don't understand may be lethal!! Understanding is the bridge between having knowledge and being wise. Seek to understand the principles of success that may bring about change in you.
R-Read: Success is closer to those who choose to study. Read, read, and read more. An actively studious mind is a successful mind.A friend told me today that we must study to be steady.
A-Addiction: What are you addict to? Be addicted to good and discouragement will soon have an enemy in you.
G-Gratitude: Many times when we are discouraged we push allow ingratitude into our lives. Grateful people are gracious in everything even when defeat knocks they appreciate the little.
E-Establish: Establish a foundation of steadiness in your life. Many times we are discouraged because we have not established within our lives a good foundation that enables us to succeed. Check your foundation? Your thinking displays your foundational pillars that are your make up.
M-Mind: What do you keep in your mind? What you feed your mind with will soon be on display to the world. You are a product of your thoughts. Check the state of your mind. What you focus on will either encourage or discourage you.Look for the positives and you will soon discover that discouragement is far from you.
E-Expectations: Check your expectations. Am troubled by the fact that many times people do not have great expectations about life. A poverty mentality never expects much of life. When your expectations are not managed well you soon have another visitor called depression knocking on your door. Have great expectations, believe the best, even in pain knowing that you will soon be smiling with joy.
N-Nurture: What you nurture in your mind will soon be your nature? Think wrong and life will soon be wrong. Think right and life irrespective of the hurdles will soon be right. Before the light bulb was made Thomas Edison is said to have tried it thousands of times. Guess what he did his experiments during a recession. He refused to let the environment control his nature but nurtured a resilient mindset that soon gave nature a light bulb.
T-Title: Your identity in life is your title. Discouraged people can titled or labelled as complainers. Don't allow life to title you what you are not. You are more than what life may be dishing out to you. Think great thoughts. You will travel towards your greatest and most predominant thoughts.
