If only life could become easier
with every day of living! But that’s not reality, is it? As you get older,
truly some things get harder, but others also get easier. In every stage of
life, there are good aspects and bad. The key is to focus on the good and learn
to live with the bad. Of course, not everyone does that. In fact, I’ve found
that there are really only two kinds of people in this world when it comes to
dealing with discouragement: splatters and bouncers. When splatters hit rock
bottom, they fall apart, and they stick to the bottom like glue. On the other
hand, when bouncers hit bottom, they pull together and bounce back.
Paul J. Meyer, founder of the
Success Motivation Institute, says, “Ninety percent of those who fail are not
actually defeated. They simply quit.” That’s what discouragement can do to you
if you don’t handle it the right way – it can cause you to quit. Since you will
become discouraged at some point, the question is, Are you going to give up or
get up?
Make the decision to get up and
bounce back today.
