Everyone gets discouraged at times only there are a number of key differences between people who keep on going and those who give up:

1 Focus On Your Goal Not On Your Problems

One of my mentors is a highly successful property developer and he loves solving problems. All day long he can take on one problem after next and just keep going.

How does he do this when most people would feel overwhelmed?

He understands importance of focus. He never loses sight of his goal and his goals so excite him that problems are nothing more than stepping stones to achievement of his outcomes.

If you are feeling discouraged it is very likely because your focus is on what has not worked; your setbacks and your fears.

Discipline your mind to focus on your goals and discouragement will fade into distance.

2 Ask For Help

You do not have to deal with everything alone. Ask for help from someone who is qualified to help you and act on their good advice.

Two minds are better than one especially when your mind is full of discouragement.

No matter how challenging life gets bear in mind following three points and you can solve any problem you face.

1 Your problems are not personal

Most of our problems can be solved right away once we learn correct strategy. Theories might help however often they will only allow you to understand problem without giving you a solution you can put to good use right away.

Be alert to resources that show you practical strategies. A breakthrough is possible sooner than you think once you find and use an effective strategy.

2 Your problems are not pervasive

When things are not working out and you feel like giving up -- stop! Look for aspects of your life that are working to remind yourself that not everything is falling apart. It is unlikely that every single one of your relationships is in trouble. It is highly unlikely that motivation is an issue for you 24 hours a day.
