Overcoming Discouragement: How to Keep Pressing Forward

Overcoming Discouragement: How to Keep Pressing Forward

Discouragement comes in many different forms. It can be the result of a failed job interview, not getting the promotion you wanted, or even dealing with personal problems. No matter what the source of your discouragement may be, it's important to know how to overcome it. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips on how to keep pressing forward when you feel discouraged. We will also share a story about Sheila, who was able to get over her discouragement and achieve her goals.

 

One of the best ways to overcome discouragement is to keep on going. This may seem like an obvious statement, but it's important to remember when you're feeling down. If you keep moving forward, eventually you will reach your goal. It may not happen as quickly as you want, but if you keep pressing on, you will get there.

 

Another way to overcome discouragement is to have faith. When things are tough and it seems like everything is against you, it can be hard to believe that things will get better. But if you have faith in yourself and in God, then you know that better days are ahead. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:13-16, "All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country-a heavenly one." When you keep your faith strong, it will help you to overcome discouragement.

 

Finally, another way to get past discouragement is to remember your story. Everyone has a story about overcoming something difficult in their life. This story can be a source of strength when you're feeling down. Sheila's story is an inspiring example of this. Sheila was disappointed when she didn't get the job she wanted. She was tempted to give up and quit trying. But instead, Sheila chose to focus on gratitude. She was thankful for the jobs she did have and for the experience she gained from going through the interview process. Sheila also decided to keep pressing forward in her job search. Eventually, she found a job that was even better than the one she originally wanted.
