When We Become Discouraged

Send us Fan MailWhen We Became Discouraged “But the people became discouraged on the way.” - Numbers 21:4The people of Israel had been liberated from slavery in Egypt, but they had not yet made it to their promise land. They lost faith in the process. They were tired and discouraged. In their discouragement they made foolish and self destructive decisions.Personal development is a process, and life is a journey. None of us gets to where we want to be as quickly as we’d like. Like the people of Israel, most of us have never been to the place we want to go. So it’s easy to become discouraged and make bad decisions. Becoming financially stable and independent is a journey for most of us. Many of us have signed up for bad loans and gotten caught up in scams, not out of desperation, but impatience. Some have taken ethical shortcuts that costs them everything.How many of us have become so discouraged while looking for a relationship that we have compromised ourselves in ways we shouldn’t, with people we shouldn’t? How many of us get so discouraged with the time and effort it takes to get to a healthy weight that we stop eating healthy, and fall back into stress eating, and comfort eating because it is convenient and it feels good in the moment? When we get tired, when we get impatient, when we get discouraged, we need to remind ourselves that life is a journey. Set backs and disappointments are part of the process. We must encourage ourselves to keep moving forward.When we are still a long way from where we want to be, sometimes we just need to focus on making the next right step.I’m Horace McMillon.
