“Being disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else. I am disappointed but I am not discouraged.”

“I am disappointed with myself. I am disappointed not so much with the particular things I have done as with the aspects of who I have become. I have a nagging sense that all is not as it should be.”

“I am disappointed every morning that I wake up. And I am disappointed by the feeling Of waking up next to you.”

“Great achievement goes through, not around, discouragement. Is there a roadblock in my way, keeping me from something I want to achieve? Am I discouraged? I understand now that discouragement often precedes achievement. Instead of retreating from the roadblock or seeking a way around it, I will boldly punch a hole through it and continue toward my goal. ”

“Being discouraged is natural but giving up is not an option.”

“One of the main effects of war, after all, is that people are discouraged from being characters.”
