I once word spread that the devil was retiring from the business and sold its tools to the highest bidder.
In the night of the sale, all the tools were arranged in a way that attracted attention, and certainly were a lot sinister hatred, jealousy, envy, malice, deceit ... plus all the tools of evil.
but somewhat apart from the rest, there was an instrument of a harmless, well-worn, as if it had been used many times, its price, however, was the highest of all.
Someone asked what the devil was the name of the tool. "Discouragement" was the reply.
"Why it costs so high?" he asked. "For this instrument," answered the devil, "is more useful to me than any other, I can enter the consciousness of a human being when all others fail me, and once inside, through the discouragement, I can make that person what I like. This well-worn because I used almost all over the world, and as very few people know that I own, I can abuse it ... "
The price was so discouraged, but so high that even the devil is still owned .. .
Discouragement is one of the states of mind which is indispensable to strengthen. We discourage the economic situation, with our work, our family, the need for change, with groups of friends, with deception, with lies, with the heartbreak ...
We remain vigilant against discouragement. But if a slip or fall must not surrender. After each day you start again from a higher point.
