A Short Guide to Dealing with Discouragement

I really enjoyed this piece from Leo Babauta.

…discouragement isn’t a problem.

It’s a property of learning, of growth, of trying. Just like heat is a property of the sun or fire. Discouragement is a property of caring and having hope.

I often frame a similar thought starting with discomfort. I love the perspective that discouragement and caring or hope are flip sides of the same coin.
