Everyone of us at one time or another faces circumstances and
Condition in which our strength is depleted and our energy is set.
The dark shadow and composes and we face that
Difficulty of human spirit known as discouragement.
The doctor told me that the greatest malady of American
People is depression, darkness, gloominess and discouragement.
Well, we weren't meant to be that way.
We were meant to be happy.
To have a sense of victory, how do you get enlighten when discouraged.
Well, one way is to build up a back fire,
A mental back fire that condition causing discouragement.
Sometimes this condition is so dark and full of shadows
That the tendency is to sync down and wallow in this group.
And if you do that, you'll remain there,
The greatest true in this life is that there is no problem,
No difficulty, no shares of circumstances too dark for your
Brain to handle for the brain is the control center of enlightenment.
For example, I read the other day about an editor of one of our
Important magazine, in order to be a big executive today,
You've got to lead a hectic life and the editor of
This international magazine is far from the course.
He was tense and high strung and has
Push himself to the point that he became ill.
As if some physical malady had struck him.
The doctor told him that his trouble was
Discouragement brought on by hectic life.
His reply was, well, doctor how can you cure me?
The doctor recommended a prescription to practice the spirit of joy.
Why?
The editor answered.
How can I practice the spirit of joy if I don't feel joyful.
But the doctor told him that if he wanted to be
Healthy, he'd have to use his brain and come up with a solution.
The editor did just that and sent out word that no one can
Visit him in the hospital unless they brought a joke with them.
What a response.
Friends came in full of vigor and vitality and enthusiasm and joy and
He drew upon this sources of joy until his health was restored
And the darkness disappear, leaving him encourage and enlighten.
It all depends upon what you're looking
For, the shadows or the bright sunlight.
Discouragement or Encouragement.
There's a man I see occasionally I
See in the morning he's walking to work.
He sort of shuffles along staring at the ground,
Feet pounding on the pavement at a
Steady phase and a frown on his face.
It can be the most glorious summer day sun shining brightly trees
Swaying in the breeze flowers blooming and still along he goes
Plotting drooly to work oblivious of all
The beauty and excitement surrounding him.
Why drag your way through life with the mind full
Of shadow, feeling defeated discourage and gloomy.
It just isn't necessary.
Open up the darkened mind and open it
With positive thinking and encouragement.
