All of us become disappointed when we have plans that fail, hopes that don't materialize and goals that are not reached. When this continues for a while, we become discouraged, a condition that can lead to depression if not handled properly.
When I get discouraged, I must make a decision to adapt and adjust, to take a new approach, to just keep going despite my feelings. That's when I must remember that the Greater One resides within me and decide I won't let discouragement keep me from realizing my dreams and goals.
When I feel discouraged - it is sometimes difficult to be positive. That's when I must rise above the discouragement through Him who lives in me. He is always available to help me find renewed direction and hope. I try to remember - 'When I'm discouraged, get encouraged ~ and when I'm disappointed, get reappointed.'
'Look, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the Lord God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged.' ~~~ Deuteronomy 1:21
