Never should the human spirit give way to discouragement. A setback is but a passing incident. It should serve to draw the attention to something that was neglected or unknown. Sometimes it is even useful.
In any case, there will always be an experience to learn and a lesson to keep from every failure that occurs.
Nothing in life happens by chance. Everything has an explanation, a cause, a reason to be. Nobody learns solely from success, for failure also teaches a lot. Happiness, good health and well-being would not be as desirable as they are if misfortune, disease and misery were unknown.
Therefore, nobody should lose heart. The lesson is to feel evil in order to avoid it, fight it, and destroy it; to conceive good in order to conquer it, attract it, integrate it to our everyday life.
The way we conduct ourselves reflects the dominant action of thought which stands out as a driving force of prodigious ability to defeat obstacles.
This power of thought varies with the education of the will. A weak will, inspires frail thinking. A strong will inspires powerful thinking.
It is not, therefore, by welcoming the sick vibrations of pessimism, discouragement, malice, envy, ingratitude, hatred, revenge, wickedness and indolence that the individual strengthens and solves his problems. Rather it numbs the mind and is ruined by these vibrations.
In conclusion, it is through positive and confident thoughts that obstacles and difficulties in life can be
overcome, thus leading to a better quality of life.
