Wow, when I kicked off this series with my post on Holding to Belief, Vision, and Purpose in Times of Discouragement, I really wasn’t sure how it would unfold. It’s been both a learning and a growing experience grappling with these topics.

Since I’m halfway through, I’ll list John Maxwell’s 10 methods of handling discouragement again:

The first five…

1.    Rise above self-pity.
2.    Think positively.
3.    Learn from your experiences.
4.    Seek alternatives.
5.    Develop a sense of humor.

The next five…

6.    Be realistic.
7.    Establish new goals.
8.    Develop a passion.
9.    Broaden your base of support.
10.  Separate your self-worth from your performance.
