Discouragement is normal. Everyone feels it. But it is one of surest stepping stones to success. When we feel discouraged, we are given the opportunity to develop a growth mindset, positive self-talk, self-efficacy, and a strong internal locus of control. Having a growth mindset is like having a compass which points to the "next step" when invariable mistakes and missteps happen. Having a growth mindset inspires us to get up, get creative, get to Plan-B (or C or D), get moving, and get growing!
