Discouraged or Encouraged?

What is it to be DISCOURAGED?

It is to be separated from and torn apart from hope, resulting in feeling like a victim and losing vision.  At that point we become deprived of strength and confidence and we find ourselves walking in our own strength to try to fix it.

If I become discouraged because of a certain situation or circumstance and let certain emotions and/or feelings be my ruler, then my confidence and strength are lost.  It is only when I regain the proper perspective that my strength and confidence ( my courage) returns and I am able to move forward again in a positive way.
