If you’ve been on this patriot/saving America from communism journey for any period of time and you haven’t felt discouraged at all, I would love to know what your secret is because for me feeling discouraged is just part of the process. We’re on a bit of an emotional roller coaster from hell and some days are definitely worse than others, but I have learned that it’s what you do with that feeling that makes or breaks you.

So what do you do when you feel down in the dumps? How do you pull yourself out of the funk? Some days the headwinds against you are stronger than others and the funk seems almost too much to bear. What do you do then?

First it’s important to recognize that feeling discouraged is normal. Our emotions are something we cannot control, but the action that we take based on our emotions is completely within our control. There are only 2 things that you and I can control on a daily basis.

  1. Our own actions

  2. Our own attitude
