Sometimes things just don't go as we have planned them to go. Sometimes things pop up that make us change the plans we had in place for a long time. Sometimes we are asked to do things we have no experience doing, but the only other people around have less experience than we do. And sometimes, life throws us a curve ball when we are expecting a fast ball right down the middle. Don't be discouraged.
Sometimes we have to step in when others are absent, sick, or just unable to perform and we have to not only step in, but step up. Sometimes we have the opinion that we are not really needed and would be better off if we just turned in our "resignation" letter and went somewhere else to serve. Don't be discouraged.
The list is endless of things which go wrong, things which keep breaking, fixes which don't stay fixed, people who disappoint us, hot weather which keep getting hotter, rain so much needed which caused the roof to leak, attendance which seems to get less rather than larger, criticism when we really gave our best effort, and people who seem to find the negative in any situation and harp on it ad nauseam. Don' be discouraged.
We were never promised a problem free journey through life. We were never promised wealth, power, prestige or notoriety unless we happened to be born into a family which already possessed these attributes; and even then, there are no guarantees. Don't be discouraged, just press on and stay in the race. Life has a way of rewarding those who stay the course, stay optimistic and stay determined to overcome the obstacles.
Yes, we all face difficulties, problems, sadness and disappointment, but we need to keep our head up, see the positive in every situation, and by all means....DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
