Discouragement
Dr. Fred Lowery
1 Kings 19:4-18
1. FEEL THAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS GONE The test of your character is what it takes to stop you.
e.g., If Christopher Columbus had turned back, no one would have blamed him. No one would have remembered him either.
e.g., Man walked by a little league ball field. What is the score? 18-0! You don't look discouraged. I'm not. We haven't come to bat yet.
2. BECOME SELFISH People who are discourage think mainly of themselves. 3. ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY SUCCESSFUL IN OUR ATTEMPTS
A study conducted by the National Retail Dry Goods Association, points out that unsuccessful first attempts cause almost half of all salesmen certain failure. Note: 48% of all salesmen make one call and stop. 25% of all salesmen make two calls and stop. 15% of all salesmen make three calls and stop. 12% of all salesmen go back and back and back and back and their 12% make 80% of all sales.

Eddie Arcaro, one of the world's greatest jockeys, lost 250 races before he won. e.g., Space program - 500,000 failures
4. LACK A PURPOSE AND A PLAN Thomas A. Edison said, "The most important factors of invention can be described in a few words. They consist (1) of definite knowledge as to what one wishes to achieve.
