Discouragement Quotes

I completely understand how you feel. Discouragement, that weight that presses down on the soul, whispers in your ear that effort is futile, that the road is blocked. It's not a failure in itself, but a true test of your ability to rise after every fall, a harsh reminder that life doesn't always go according to plan.

But what if this discouragement is the turning point? How can we learn from it, and find the strength to overcome despair and rebuild hope anew? These quotes offer insights on navigating this path.

Drop all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of the unconscious mind. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today
