Are you dissapointed?

Are your disappointments keeping you from the life you wish to live? When we get disappointed it might be because we are taking things personally. We must be flexible in our approach to life. When we get disappointed, is it because what we planned didn't work out the way we thought it would? The best gifts in life are the ones we never expected to receive. Something incredible will happen in your life. If you live being stuck in the past you'll miss the opportunity in your future.

"Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams."

Unrealized Potential

Promising, conceivable, possibility, ability, power, achiever: What is this describing? Your unrealized Potential. If I know one thing about you, it's that you have this great potential inside you. But what do we allow in to destroy everything we want to become?

Discouragement takes away everything you are. Discouragement is a smoke screen from the great person that you have become. Discouragement tries to kill your will to be successful.

The devil had decided to pack it up and go out of business. He planned to put all of his tools up for sale. His tools consisted of a malice, hate, envy, jealousy, greed, sensuality and deceit. Off to the side lay a harmless-looking wedge-shaped tool which had obviously been warned down.

A potential buyer asked, "What's that? It's priced so much higher than all of the other tools which aren't nearly as worn." The devil answered, "That's discouragement."

"But why is it priced so high?" the customer asked.

The devil replied, "Because that's the tool I used to pry open a person's consciousness when I couldn't get near them with any of the other tools. Once discouragement got me inside, I could let all the other tools do their work."

"If no one can discourage you, then no one can defeat you."
