This is what Discouragement means losing interest, hope, desire, strength, indea over what we once desire to do in life.

Have you ever experienced discouragement? Kindly share with us your experience.

Yes I have ever experienced disc and it was during my time in the university where I wanted to contest for director of finance in the students Union Government in my school back then.

I was seriously interested in contesting, but I later lost interest in contesting because of what I noticed and discovered. I found out that I might not recover the money I would spend on campaigning, and my chances of winning were low.

How do you handle it when faced with it

It was very easy for me to handle, so I met with my other contestants and discussed with them how I wanted to do things. I discussed with them that I am willing to step down and support anyone ready for my offer, which was paying me back what I had spent before meeting them for negotiation, and I was lucky to get back twice what I had spent in the course of me eyeing the office of director of finance.

Give general advice to your readers who might be going through a discouraging phase.

My advice is simple, and this is my advice:

• Be smart enough to know when you're to feel discouraged
• Don't do something that is above your power
• Take a break and rest whenever you feel discouraged
• Also talk to someone if you feel discouraged
