Don't let a Discourager's negativity creep into your thought. Remember, they are looking for the worst possible outcomes.

Safeguard your dreams and goals from Discouragers.

Whether we know it or choose to admit it, we are either an Encourager or a Discourager. We each make a choice as to which type we will be… every day. Discouragers bring “stresspools.”I call any of those places that add unnecessary stress and aggravation “stresspools.” They are just as stinky and rotten as cesspools, but “stresspools” wreak of tension, strain, anxiety, worry, hassle, pressure, and emotional trauma.

Recognize that Discouragers have aesthetically-challenged attitudes.

Discouragers talk at you. Discouragers genuinely want you to hear their opinions.

Discouragers are the folks who regularly see the glass as half-empty, and they do not want anyone else to get one that's half full.
