Summary: Discouragement is the natural consequence of unrealistic expectations, because, when you have an expectation in any area of your life that is rooted in fantasy instead of reality, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and failure. So do not wish for an easy life. You will never grow if you stay in your comfort zone. Instead, embrace the conflict and the contact. Know that through the struggle comes the satisfaction of winning and of meeting opposition and emerging victorious.
