The number one reason we must deal decisively and militantly against discouragement is that it is not just the only thing that comes. It has a company of other vices trotting right after it. Once the door is open, the rest will follow. Listen to this.

It's like medicine. Back in the day the medicine for Malaria was so bitter, I still shudder with goosebumps even to think about it right now. Nobody wanted it. However, after taking it, we amended. Same thing with discouragement. Listen to this.

We all must grapple with that question at one point of our lives or another. At times, we are forced to face that question when we are facing setbacks and mighty crises in our lives.

In my life's work, the greatest nemesis that I fight against even at a personal level is the guy called Status Quo. There is no semblance of purpose or passion in status quo.
